Grape Wine Journey

I went for Single Malt Tasting and left with a strong caraway Vodka after taste lingering in my palate and mind.  It was always the small surprises in life that made the day.

It reminded me WSET stands for Wine & Spirits, and I almost forgot the Spirit part of the course.

Vodka is strongly associated with Russia, but according to the presenter the 18^th century formula is kept in France with a small distillery following the tradition.

There were two Vodkas served, one at the beginning as aperitif and one at the end for perfect ending.  The aperitif was interesting with lemon and milk, and it was not artificial flavoring.  The 2 weeks maceration was infused with organic lemon and pasteurized milk and the spirit was stopped at 43% alcohol level, which was the perfect condition according to the 18^th century formula.

But I was more impressed with the Vodka with the strong cumin and spice on the nose and palate; I kept pouring a bit more.  When I learnt the best food to pair with the Vodka, I have to say I have expensive taste … caviar!
