Description
Hangar 1 Straight Vodka is distilled from freshly-harvested Viognier grapes. “The Viognier is not an easy grape,” says Rupf. Aside from having low and unpredictable yields, the Viognier grape can only be harvested when fully mature a window of only 24 to 48 hours. Once the grapes are harvested, they are pressed, fermented and distilled the same day through a copper pot still. By distilling the grapes almost immediately after they are harvested, “we capture in our still the fruit at its most thrilling moment.” Following distillation, the vodka is blended with vodka made from Midwestern wheat in order to balance the bold, sweet notes of citrus, before each batch is bottled by hand. Hangar 1 Straight Vodka earned a score of 90-95 points from Wine Enthusiast.Each batch of Hangar 1 Vodka represents the “true expression of “from the tree into the bottle,’” says Rupf.
