Today is National Vodka Day and NEFT Vodka would like to change the way we think about enjoying vodka.
Crafted to stand on its own, and be appreciated solely for its taste, NEFT is made from only Austrian spring water and ancient non-GMO rye grains. Erik Chapman, head of distilling at NEFT, shares some reasons why NEFT should be your go-to sipping spirit for National Vodka Day and beyond:
- NEFT is made with 100% rye and oxygen-rich water, that has been filtered deep in the Rhaetian Alps in Austria, making for a nice earthy, slightly sweet front and minerally-smooth finish.
- Starting with clean and unprocessed ingredients, NEFT utilizes both copper pot and continuous stills to meticulously craft a refined spirit without stripping away the essential components of its character and terroir.
- Just because vodka is un-aged and colorless doesn’t mean it can’t be sipped: NEFT can be sipped straight, like any other fine spirit.
- Room temperature is the ideal way to sip NEFT neat to enjoy its true aromatic and flavor complexities. But, if completely neat isn’t your thing, mix with a nice French or Italian vermouth, and bitters.
