Review: Old Dominick Honeybell Citrus Vodka

Old Dominick Honeybell Citrus Vodka is distilled in Memphis by Alex Castle, the first female distiller in Tennessee.  Honeybell citrus is also known as Minneola Tangelo, and is a cross between a Duncan Grapefruit, and Darcy Mandarin.  The brand is named for Domenico Canale whose image appears on the back of each bottle.  Domenico was born in Italy.  At 16 he sailed to America in 1859, and worked for his uncle running a fruit cart up and down the streets of Memphis.  In 1866 he established D. Canale & Co, a food wholesaler.  In 1880 he developed The Dominick Toddy, A bourbon based cordial.  In 1919 Dominick died and three days later Prohibition was ratified ending the brands 39 year run.  In 2013 Chris and Alex Canale discovered an unopened bottle of Old Dominick Toddy and they decided to recreate the spirit brand their great, great, grandfather launched.  In 2016 their distillery opened in an old warehouse where they spent $10 million converting.  The Honeybell Citrus vodka base is made from corn and pristine water sourced from the Memphis sand aquifer.  The spirit is double distilled.  First in a 250 gallon pot still and then in a column still.  The vodka is filtered for clarity.  A natural extract and no sugar are infused with the vodka base before bottling at 80 proof.    The aroma is orange blossom, fresh peeled tangerine, spiced gum drop and a sprinkle of black pepper.  The natural tangerine entry has a soft and creamy vodka backing.  Ginger arrives, followed by orange spiced gum drop flavor, building to a juicy orange peak.  It fades with salty whole tangerine flavor and finishes semi-dry with a healthy dose of warmth, and a black peppery sting, with spicy ginger, and a long bittersweet orange and lime peel aftertaste.
