Review: Charbay Blood Orange Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Charbay Blood Orange - CopyCharbay Blood Orange vodka is one of 6 flavored vodka’s the Karakasevic family crafts in Napa Valley with their unflavored vodka as a base.  It is crafted with Midwest grown corn and rye.  They use a 660 gallon still along with a proprietary distillation process and distill to 192 proof.  Pure spring water that has been filtered to 3 PPM purity is used to reduce the proof.  One batch of Blood Orange is made each year with whole blood oranges grown in Central California.  They are crushed whole within the first three days of picking in February each year.  The flavor and color extraction process takes six months.  The extraction is then gently blended with the vodka and bottled at 80 proof.Because no artificial color is added, the color this vodka pours to is year dependent.  This years Blood Orange appears a little lighter in color.  The aroma is blood orange and spice with a hint of caramel corn.  The sweet natural blood orange flavor leaps from my glass building to a tart peak.  For those unfamiliar with blood orange, there is some grapefruit flavor combined with juicy orange.  As the flavor fades the orange zest taste intensifies and picks up a little spice.  The finish is long, with a crisp sting and some vodka heat.  Served on the rocks softens the finish without diluting the flavor.
