Redefining Elegance, One Sip at a Time. For centuries, the finest distillers recognized wheat as the cornerstone for creating vodkas of unparalleled clarity and smoothness. Today, Blackland continues this legacy, but with a twist. By harnessing the unique qualities of Texas grain, we've crafted a vodka that not only meets but exceeds expectations. Our process pays homage to traditional methods while embracing local terroir, resulting in a spirit with soft undertones that highlight the local wheat's character. This isn't just vodka; it's a tribute to the art of distillation and the rich agricultural heritage of Texas. Most American vodka is made with corn, but we prefer red winter wheat for the texture and mouth-feel to appeal to the palate. We slow-drip filter our vodka through carbon for three days to remove all impurities and then proof our grain neutral spirit base with water we've treated for another three days through a salt-walter filter, a carbon filter and finally via reverse osmosis; that's six days alone to filtrer and purify, resulting in an incredibly clean and soft vodka. How many distilleries in the world do you think sacrifice six total days of production for filtering and water treatment? Experience the supreme smoothness, elecgance and depths of flavor that only Blackland Vodka can offer. Elevate your next gathering or enjoy a moment of refined relaxation. And we encourage you to compare it to any vodka on the market today. Have you tried it already? Share your thoughts in the comments. Haven't had the pleasure yet?

The production of GÔDE is a two fold event : Let the magic work through the blending of two ancestral crafts: Brewing and the traditional method (la “Méthode Traditionnelle”). First part occurs like a traditional beer : BREWING 🍺 Second part is the well-known « Méthode Traditionnelle » 🍾 usually used to produce sparkling wines. After adding “liqueur de tirage” and “champagne yeast” a second fermentation and sparkling process take place in the bottle. Then we have a well-deserved rest in our cellars, a Maturation / Ageing on lees for minimum 6 month. Finally, we start a process known as « Remuage » (riddling process /rotated champers) in champagne racks called “pupitres”. The bottles are turned around and brought from a horizontal into a vertical position. A turn is made every eight hours and after 4 weeks, the bottles will be standing upright. All the sediment formed during re-fermentation is gathered in the neck of the bottle, which will subsequently be « disgorged ». https://lnkd.in/ecJ22g9A #bierebrut #craftbeer #methodeoriginale #brewing #remuage #riddling #degorgement #disgorging #ageing #biereartisanale #unicraft #creation

The Foundation of Great Beer: Our Water Source At Wold Top Brewery, we understand that exceptional beer begins with exceptional water. Our commitment to quality starts with our water source, which plays a crucial role in the flavor and consistency of our brews. Our water is sourced from a borehole that taps into the naturally filtered chalk aquifer beneath the Yorkshire Wolds. This ancient aquifer provides water that is not only pure and crisp but also imparts a unique character to our beers. Here’s why our water stands out: Natural Filtration: The chalk aquifer naturally filters the water, removing impurities and adding mineral qualities that enhance our beer's taste. Consistent Quality: Our borehole delivers water with a stable composition, which is essential for preserving the quality and flavour profile of our brews. Pure Flavour: The purity of our water allows the true flavours of our ingredients to shine, reflecting our dedication to quality. Here’s to celebrating the often-overlooked hero of brewing—pure, Yorkshire Wolds water! 🍻 #WoldTopBrewery #CraftBeer #WaterInBrewing #YorkshireWolds #ChalkAquifer #BreweryLife #BeerLover #SustainableBrewing #PureWater #BeerMaking

We all love a spot of rosé wine, but did you know there are a few methods that can be used to make it? 1. The maceration method involves crushing red grapes and soaking them for a short period (no more than a few days) to impart some of the colour of the red skin into the wine. 2. The saignée method involves bleeding off some juice from the initial stages of red wine production. This is usually primarily to concentrate the red wine, but the juice that has been bled off is then fermented separately to make rosé. 3. The blending method involves blending a small amount of red wine with white wine to achieve the desired pink colour. 4. Direct pressing involves pressing red grapes directly with minimal skin contact, allowing only a little of the colour to go into the juice. Now you're equipped with a little extra know-how ahead of National Rosé Day tomorrow!

Do you know about Lambay Whiskey's Distillation Process? 🥃 Irish whiskey is synonymous with triple distillation and Lambay Whiskey Small Batch Blend is produced using two forms of distillation process – Pot Still Distillation and Column Still Distillation. Each distillation helps to refine and collect the purest distillates resulting in a final spirit with a clean spicy flavour. The distillation process starts with “Pot Still Distillation” followed by “Column Still Distillation” which originated in Scotland to allow more efficient distillation of cheap whiskey. After the distillation process, we move onto the “Maturation” phase. Lambay Whiskey use first fills B1 (Bourbon Casks) to mature for a minimum of 4 years before being transferred to a Camus cognac cask. We do not usually name where the casks come from but if asked, they are sourced from the Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky to our Distillery supplier. Kelvin Cooperage supplies bourbon barrels from renowned distilleries in Kentucky, some examples of barrels would be Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey, Four Roses and Maker’s Mark. The cognac cask imparts a more intense complexity from the tannins but also more fruit from the residue of the cognac in the porous oak! ✨ Learn more at: lambaywhiskey.com #LambayWhiskey #IrishWhiskey #SmallBatchBlend #CognacFinishing #TrinityWellWater #LambayWhiskeyHistory #DidYouKnow
