Review: Shady Vodka Recount 2020

Shady Vodka Recount 2020 is a limited edition spirit designed to pay tribute to Florida’s history of close elections.  It is made from 100% corn and is small batch distilled six times prior to a seventh distillation in a 1000 liter, 264 gallon Dragon double copper pot still with a pot head, 4 plate column and 11 plate side column.  A 10 time proprietary filtration process follows prior to bottling.  Recount 2020 was released 2 weeks after the launch of Shady Vodka and the opening of Shady Distillery.  Each vodka is prepared the same, Recount 2020 is bottled at 81 proof instead of 80.  The Shady Distillery is located in the Historic Sistrunk District of Fort Lauderdale, and the 20,000 square foot distillery is located in the Sistrunk Marketplace.  Both are named in honor of pioneering black Physician Dr. James Franklin Sistrunk the founder of Provident Hospital, Broward Counties first black hospital.  Master Distiller Jonny VerPlanck has also crafted 12 Mile White Rum.  The 12 Mile name pays tribute to the edge of International waters during prohibition where rum runners met to transfer booze made in the Bahamas for delivery to Florida’s Southern coast.  12 Mile Dark rum is currently barrel aging and several more 12 Mile branded rums will follow.  Read more »
