Review: Black Cow Vodka
Black Cow Vodka was launched in 2012. It was created by Jason Barber, a farmer running his own dairy farm with 250 cows. The Barber family has been making cheese and producing milk for over 200 years. Black Cow is made entirely from the milk of grass grazed cows. The milk is separated into curds and whey. The curds are used to produce cheese. The whey is used to craft the vodka. A proprietary yeast is used to ferment the whey. The spirit is distilled in a copper still made in Germany by A.G. Holstein. Doesn’t it seem appropriate that a Holstein still is use to produce a milk based vodka? After distillation the vodka is triple filtered. Read more 
Review: Broken Shed Vodka
Broken Shed Vodka was released 2011. The vodka is named for the broken down shed where the spirit was first created on the South Island of New Zealand in the Township of Wanaka. Wanaka is situated in a glacier carved basin on the shores of Lake Wanoka. Broken Shed is made from distilled whey and a blend of water from two of New Zealand’s purest water sources. East Tamaki located on the North Island and Central Otago located on the South Island. It is four times distilled and filtered through a custom designed charcoal and depth filtration process. Whey is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. While whey may seem like an unusual base to distill vodka from, several other vodkas including Milk Money, VDKA 6100, Vermont White, and Black Cow also distill their vodka from milk. Broken Shed is crafted without using additives or sugars. Read more
