Review: Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso Vodka is one of three flavor infused vodkas made at the Bendistillery in Tumalo Oregon from their original Crater Lake vodka base.  The other flavors include Sweet Ginger and Pepper.  The Bendistillery has been crafting spirits since 1998 and besides their own spirits they craft over 40 private label spirits including Fuzzys Ultra Premium and Venom Vodka.  The Crater Lake vodka base is made from 100% corn, distilled five times, and filtered ten times before resting in oak.  Pure Cascade water is blended to reduce to proof .  Fresh brewed espresso and hazelnuts are then infused.  A touch of pure cane brown sugar is blended before bottling at 50 proof.  It pours to a coffee brown color.  The aroma leads with hazelnut.  Vanilla, coffee, and brown sugar are also present.  The sweet coffee entry has vanilla flavor with hazelnut arriving and building to a creamy brown sugar sweetened nutty espresso peak.  It fades with brown sugar, coconut, chocolate, and coffee flavor, and finishes with bitter coffee mocha flavor with soft warmth and a gentle tingle.  At 50 proof I don’t know if this even qualifies as a flavored vodka. but it is very smooth and tasty.
