Review: Chief Greenland 260 Vodka
Chief Greenland 260 Vodka is crafted by Tall Ship Distillery and named in Memory of Greenland New Hampshire Police Chief Michael Maloney. He lost his life April 12 2012 in the line of duty, 8 days before his retirement. He was also the brother in law of Tall Ship owner John Pantelakos. Maloney wore badge #260. John opened the distillery August 2014 and named it after the Tall Ships that once brought liquor to the New Hampshire area. Master Distillery crafts five varieties of rum and Chief Greenland Vodka in a 250 gallon all copper still, hand built by owner John Pantelakos. CG 260 vodka is made from molasses and it is distilled four times. The nose leads with burnt match stick. Additional time brings out floral, vanilla, anise, unpeeled banana, and burnt caramel. The sweet brown sugar entry is joined by grilled banana building to a citrus molasses peak. It fades with burnt cane sugar, vanilla, lemon citrus, and warm banana and finishes semi-dry with anise, and banana peel.
