Review: 3 Howls Vodka
3 Howls Vodka is one of 12 spirits crafted in a 5000 square foot warehouse in Seattle’s Sodo neighborhood. Will Maschmeier founded the distillery in 2013. His distillery tour in Isla Scotland provided the inspiration for the 3 Howls name. While there he heard the legend of Cu-Sith, a giant hound who roams Scotland’s Highlands and Moors and howls three times before taking souls to the underworld. 3 Howls is made from a corn grain mash bill. It is distilled 7 times in a 300 gallon copper still. The aroma leads with boiled corn. Additional time brings out sliced lemon wedge. The sweet sugary lemon entry has a thick viscous feel. Sweet corn arrives building to a bright tart lemon peak. It fades with menthol and finishes hot and peppery with lemon cough drop taste.
