Review: Western Son Far East Yuzu Vodka
Western Son Far East Yuzu Vodka is the newest of eight flavored vodkas made at the Western Son Distillery. The Yuzu fruit is a Japanese citrus fruit that originated in China. It grows to the size of a tangerine. The flavor has been compared to a grapefruit with Mandarin Orange overtones. Yuzu is a popular ingredient in Japanese beer and has also been used to produce a beer for New Belgium Brewery, and Charleston Beer Works. Western Son Far East Yuzu Vodka is made from yellow corn. It is distilled ten times through a 20 foot column still and filtered four times. Water filtered through reverse osmosis is blended to reduce to proof. Natural Yuzu essence and natural flavors are blended with the original vodka base before bottling at 60 proof. Read more
