It’s the perfect vodka in my opinion; made from 100% organic ingredients with corn (not wheat) as its primary element (I have a wheat allergy so I especially appreciate this). Rain Organic Vodka comes in four unique flavors, plus the original variety. Each is distilled in small batches at Buffalo Trace Distillery from 100% organic white corn. The vodkas undergo a 20-day production process that includes cold-water sweet mash fermentation, seven distinct distillations, and a polishing stage that adds in pure limestone water.
This results in a smooth, perfumey vodka. In fact, according to the Rain site “There are smells of pear drop, moss and hay in the first sniffing. Aeration allows the aroma to deepen, especially the appealing earthy moss and wet soil perfume. Palate entry is feather-light; at mid-palate there’s a firm but satiny taste of sweet grain. Aftertaste is grainy. Delicious and delicate.”
Maybe you’ve never gotten that deep with your vodka. But when it’s organic, small batch distilled, and occasionally blended with flavors like Honey Mango Melon, Cucumber Lime, Red Grape Hibiscus and Lavender Lemonade it’s time you did.
