The Stillery's First: Spelt Grain Vodka
Forget everything you thought you knew about vodka. This is a vodka for people who don't drink vodka. Distilled from local spelt grain, malty and buttery smooth. Most likely the best organic, premium craft vodka out there. Note the "most likely": we're working on our modesty.
IT STARTED IN A BATHTUB
In 2009, in the bathtub of a student house. Secretly, because that wasn't allowed. Since 2015 we've done it for real, and this vodka came first. You don't name something "First" unless you're planning to make more.
BLAME IT ON THE SPELT
Vodka is supposed to taste of nothing, or so they say. This one never got the memo: the flavour comes from the spelt.
Tasting notes: crystal clear. Soft and malty, with sweet almond, marzipan and white chocolate. Round and full in the mouth, with a creamy, malty finish.
A MULE FROM MOKUM
Mokum Mule, our Amsterdam take on the Moscow Mule (Mokum is Amsterdam, in case you were wondering): 40 ml First Spelt Vodka, 140 ml ginger ale, 1 dash of black walnut bitters and a sprig of fresh mint, in a copper mug over ice.
Neat: 40 ml at room temperature, no ice, in a tumbler. The shot glasses can stay in the cupboard.
