After distillation, the spirit rests for a minimum of 72 hours in tank before being blended with crystal-clear water — a deliberate resting period intended to allow the spirit to settle and integrate before final blending. The result is a vodka that leans on precise distillation technology and carefully hand-selected ingredients rather than aggressive filtration or flavoring to achieve its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with faint, delicate impressions of porcelain and tarragon, followed by subtle hints of shredded wheat and cream.
