What separates Rain from most American vodkas begins with the base material: certified organic white corn, rather than the wheat or potato bases common in the category. The 20-day production technique starts with a cold-water sweet mash fermentation, moves through seven distinct distillations to strip impurities while preserving a faint grain character, and finishes with a polishing stage that introduces pure Kentucky limestone water. That final step leverages the same naturally calcium-rich water source Buffalo Trace uses across its whiskey program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The first nosing reveals pear drop, fresh-cut hay, and a light buttery quality.
