Review: Rocket Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Rocket Vodka was introduced in the fall of 2016 with the Limited Launch Edition of 1000 bottles.  Founder Darius Paczuski soon followed that up with a second Launch II release of 2000 bottles.  I am reviewing a bottle of their IV release.  Rocket Vodka is handcrafted at Dry Diggings Distillery in El Dorado Hills California.  Darius Paczuski was born in Poland but he soon moved to Norway with his parents. Darius picked ground apples for his fathers moonshine, which smashed and fermented fresh apples and then aged the spirit in oak barrels.  At 20 Darius came to the US on a Cal State Long Beach University swimming scholarship.  Darius first came up with the idea to craft a vodka while skiing in Lake Tahoe.  Darius was a skilled and fast skier earning him the nickname The Polish Rocket, hence, the Rocket Vodka name.  Rocket Vodka is made from a combination of fresh apple juice and apple concentrate from Fuji, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith apples which are sourced from Barsotti Farms in Apple Hill California.  Yeast and pure Sierra Nevada Mountain water are the only other ingredients.  Rocket is distilled twice in two different pot/column stills and is double carbon filtered.The aroma is banana pudding and caramel.  Additional time in the glass brings out fresh smashed apples.  The sweet vanilla and banana custard entry is joined by juicy apple.  It fades with vanilla and caramel.  The finish is smooth and semi-dry with mild warmth, mineral, oat, caramel apple, and anise taste.  It’s a smooth sipping vodka that also blends well with fresh juice cocktails such as the Un Echappe by Chef Chris Cosentino.
