Review: Veil Watermelon Vodka
Veil Watermelon Vodka was recently released. It is one of 26 flavored vodkas made by Distiller Sales in Princeton Minnesota. This brand can be found at Total Wine and More. If you have been to a Total Wine and More store you may have noticed Veil and several other brands also produced by Distiller Sales including Decadent, Truestone, Drake, Luxus, Starr Blu, Ice Cap, and Red Medal Vaatka. Veil Watermelon is made from premium grains and pristine water. The vodka base is distilled five times and charcoal filtered. Watermelon flavor is added before bottling at 70 proof.The aroma is fresh watermelon and bubblegum. The sweetened watermelon entry builds to a sugary Jolly Rancher Watermelon candy and vanilla syrup peak. It fades with metallic flavor, and finishes with bittersweet watermelon taste, a healthy dose of heat, a peppery sting, and a mild burn. There is enough of a watermelon flavor burst to mix Veil Watermelon in is a sweet cocktail, but this is not a vodka built for sipping.
