Review: Kanpeki Vodka
Kanpeki Vodka is crafted in Branchville New Jersey. Brothers Gordon and Mike Geerhart left their construction jobs in 2015 and transformed a 125 year old building once used to store bales of grain into the Milk Street Distillery. At one time a creamery was located across the street and serves as the inspiration for the distilleries name. In the distilleries tasting room you will find a couple of photos from the Creamy strike of 1955. Striking workers are seen dumping milk and farmers are fighting back with baseball bats. The distillery opened January 2017 and Kanpeki Vodka was launched September 2018. It is double distilled from polished grains of pure white rice and is double filtered through a variety of carbons. Kanpeki is a Japanese word that means perfection. Several spirits including War Penny Bourbon, Dam Break Rye, Caraway Rye, Last Vestige Malt Whiskey, Blind Bettie Gin, Black Vulture Vodka and Wooden Leg Rum are also distilled and bottled here.
