Review: Two Titmice Vodka
Two Titmice Vodka is named for the Tufted Titmouse, the most common backyard bird in America. $1 from the sale of every bottle of Two Titmice goes directly to patients fighting breast cancer. Founder Ed Malin created the vodka while his wife was battling her own breast cancer. Two Titmice is crafted with six different sweet potato varieties grown in the field surrounding their distillery in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley of California. The potatoes are cured, mashed, and fermented onsite. Ten average sized sweet potatoes are required to make every bottle of Two Titmice Vodka. After a small batch double distillation, the spirit is slowly blended with pure spring water and filtered over five days to reduce to 80 proof. The vodka is then chill filtered at 28 degrees. The aroma is vanilla, pear, caramel, red apple, and sweet potato pie. The vanilla, apple, juicy pear, and almond paste entry has a creamy mouth feel, building to a vanilla rimmed sweet potato pie peak. It fades with apple, caramel, and vanilla. The finish is warm, semidry, and mineral with vanilla custard, cinnamon apple, and almond paste taste. Two Titmice Vodka is smooth enough to serve as a martini, and tasty enough to mix in your favorite craft cocktail.
