Review: Spirit Works Vodka

Spirit Works Vodka is made from organic Northern California grown hard winter wheat.  The Spirit Works Distillery located in Sonoma County was founded by the husband and wife team of Timo and Ashby Marshall.  Their distillery crafts a full line of spirit including Gin, Sloe Gin, Barrel Aged Gin, Barrel Aged Sloe Gin, Straight Wheat Whiskey, Straight Rye Whiskey, and Four Grain Straight Bourbon.  Spirit Works Vodka actually started as the base for their Gin.  This explains the 86 proof SWV is bottled at.  People liked their gin so much they decided to bottle the gin base on it’s own.  In crafting their vodka they start with a whole grain.  By doing so they are able to preserve the distinct wheat characteristics throughout the distillation process.  The whole hard winter wheat grain is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled and bottled at the distillery for a true grain to glass experience.  The distillation takes place on a 800 liter custom Carl still.  This hybrid pot still comes with a 21 plate rectification column.
