Review: Tommyrotter Vodka
Tommyrotter Distillery was founded by Bobby Finan and Sean Insalaco. It opened July 2015 in a 116 year old factory in Buffalo New York, in the historic hydraulic manufacturing district. They produced vodka, gin, and bourbon on their 2700 square foot production floor before closing the distillery in 2024. The distillery takes its name from the Tommyrotter’s Club a brand of rebellious artisans in the early 20th century who sought adventure mischief and inspiration. Tommyrotter Vodka is made from 100% New York grown corn. It is distilled six time followed by a 3 stage filter with layers of charcoal, gravel and sand. The aroma leads with roasted corn, and peanuts. Additional time brings out strawberry, cinnamon, and lemon grass. The sweet corn entry builds to a lemon and vanilla peak. It fades with bright lemon and cinnamon finishing a little hot and peppery with lemon peel, strawberry, and anise leaving a bit of salted peanut taste.
