Best Tasting Spirits 2015 Flavor of the Year

by Jeff Ellingson

Ruby Red GrapefruitThe Best Tasting Spirits 2015 Flavor of the Year is one of four awards we are announcing this year.  While maybe unconventional the other three awards will be for Ingredient, Packaging Trend, and Product of the Year.  As we close 2015, I would like to thank my readers for a year of exceeded goals, and milestones, including 900 reviews.  The first of these awards is the 2015 Flavor of the Year.  In March of 2015 I verbally awarded Grapefruit, the Flavor of the Year.  By December I felt a little like Steve Harvey when I almost had to remove the crown from the Ruby Red head of grapefruit, and place it on the creamy head of Root Beer.  In the end I decided to stay with Grapefruit.  After a couple years of dominance by Cinnamon, with successive waves of Fireball and For finding out a solution to the sildenafil uk buy problem fast, but leave you to suffer lots of side effects.

Rum Chata, along with their many clones, Grapefruit started 2015 with a bang.By March, Smirnoff, Skyy, Svedka, UV, and Nue had introduced new Grapefruit flavored vodkas.  Captain Morgan had also launched their Grapefruit flavored rum.  Just as the dust was settling, Shady Fruit and Pinnacle released their own Grapefruit vodka.  Grapefruit also scored big with Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin, Leinenkugels Grapefruit Shandy, and Illusive Traveler Grapefruit Ale.  Just like Fireball and Rum Chata were the driving force behind the success of cinnamon, I believe Deep Eddy was the driving force behind the success of Grapefruit.  At launch in 2013 Deep Eddy Ruby Red was the fifth grapefruit flavored vodka.  By comparison there were already 10 Cucumber flavored vodkas.  While the 4 previously released Grapefruit vodkas including Absolut Ruby Red, Belvedere Pink Grapefruit, Charbay Ruby Red Grapefruit, and Finlandia Grapefruit were all quite good, they lacked the flavor burst, color and marketing push Deep Eddy provided.
