Review: Twin Spirits M Vodka
When stay at home mother of 4 boys Michelle Winchester was about to turn 50 she was looking for a big change. After attending a conference at the American Distilling Institute she was hooked. Michelle founded Twin Spirits in 2014 and purchased a 1920’s property in NE Minneapolis. After two years of renovation she opened her distillery. It was the first woman owned distillery in Minnesota. The distillery went on to craft vodka, gin, rum, whiskey and Mamma’s Moonshine. Twin Spirits M Vodka is double distilled on a Hillbilly Stills 100 gallon column still from 100% domestic raw cane sugar. Due to her own health issues Michelle closed Twin Spirits Distillery at the end of 2023. Their spirits are still available in Minnesota including Total Wine & More stores while their current supply lasts. The aroma leads with vanilla, anise, pepper, and a hint of herbs. Additional time brings out green banana. The sweet vanilla entry is joined by citrus building to a creamy vanilla and herb peak. It fades with banana and mineral and finishes with banana peel and black pepper.
