Review: Aspen Vodka
Aspen Vodka is crafted at Aspen Distillers on a high bank adjacent to the Roaring Fork River in Aspen Colorado. Matthew Patel a doctor from Ohio founded and built the 18,000 square foot facility on 8 acres once used as a lumberyard. Aspen Distillers operates as the largest carbon negative distillery. Aspen Vodka is made from Non-Hybrid, Non-GMO heirloom red winter wheat exclusively grown on a 2200 single estate centennial farm in Colorado. The wheat is milled onsite prior to distilling. The water is sourced from snow melt that travels down the mountain and into the natural aquifer below the property. January 30, 2024 Aspen announced a partnership with WES Brands which will make it a lot easier to purchase a bottle of Aspen Vodka as WES will increase their distribution. The aroma leads with caramel and Lemon Danish. The sweet lemon entry is joined by caramel, silky wheat, and a soft mouth feel, building to a lemon and milky butterscotch peak. It fades with soft caramel and finishes with lemon peel, French pastry, and anise.
