What qualifies as premium vodka?
Premium vodka is typically defined as a high-quality, luxury spirit that is produced using the finest ingredients and rigorous distillation methods. The marketeers og large brands with big sales budgets will make claims to being distilled multiple times, filtering through diamonds or some other substance that adds nothing and finally mixed and softened with the purest glacial water to achieve a smooth and clean taste. Some of this may be true but you really need to get under the label and up close to the distillery to see if they are truly making the Vodka in this way. And question if the filtering by diamonds can really add anything?
What qualities are essential for creating exceptional artisanal Vodka?
At Tayport, our process begins with carefully selecting the finest malt barley from local fields near the distillery, establishing strong relationships with the farmers to ensure the highest quality grains. This commitment to quality is evident in the exceptional taste and smoothness of our Tayport Vodka, which is crafted in small batches of just 600 bottles at a time. This attention to detail allows us to maintain greater control and infuse each bottle with passion and precision. From mashing and fermenting to distilling, we oversee every step of production to create a truly unique product. Unlike many distilleries that simply rebrand commercially produced vodka, we take pride in making our vodka the hard way, from scratch, using the finest ingredients Scotland has to offer. This dedication has led to our award-winning vodka, which has been embraced by customers seeking an authentic taste of Scotland.
What is the highest quality vodka and how can this be measured?
Determining the highest quality vodka is a subjective task that can be measured in various ways. The bottle will come with many claims and most will sound the same. The common factors mentioned include the purity of the spirit, the smoothness of the taste, the clarity and cleanliness of the liquid, and the overall drinking experience. Additionally, the quality of ingredients used, the premium grain quality, the distillation process, the filtration methods, and the brand reputation are all important factors to take into account. Ultimately, the best way to determine the highest quality vodka is by conducting taste tests and comparing different brands based on personal preferences and criteria. The reality is that once you get beyond the marketing claims there is a real difference and the handmade vodka with care in distillation are really the best. High performance in distillation separates the best alcohol from the worst alcohol. Then you have the addition of pure water for dilution and the filtration steps to put on the finishing touches. These really are key to the final quality and you can only influence this if you are authentically doing this as a distiller. At Tayport Distillery we are committed to making the best premium grain vodka at every step.
