In the Glass

Brilliant, crystal clear.

The nose is wonderfully alluring and decadent, being reminiscent of poached apples with accents of blanched almonds and mineral.

The palate affirms the fabulous nose being pleasingly lush and silky with a mildly sweet, fruit-driven core with flanking notes of mineral and subtle citrus accents.

Medium-bodied with a rich, velvet-like texture while delivering bright acidity resulting in perfect balance.

Cool Factor

A true craft product that starts in their multi-generation orchards and then distilled to perfection and purity without losing the flavor of the source material is very cool.

Value Grade

Finding an American craft Vodka that is wonderfully complex (yes, Vodka can be complex) selling for under $30 a bottle a real value.

Analysis

Rootstocks Tree Vodka starts in the trees — literally. Five generations have been producing great tree fruits at their DeFisher Fruit Farms in the the Rochester region of New York. They craft the cider that is then distilled in their American-made, 24-plate column still creates a Vodka that is wonderfully pure while unmistakably born of apples. This nuanced Vodka has a silky texture that rolls over the palate kept vibrant and refreshing with bright acidity. It's 100% natural, distinctive, and a great value.

How to Enjoy

Serve chilled with a citrus zest or utilize in your favorite Vodka cocktails. This unique Vodka makes the case for a perfectly made Vodka Martini.
