Crater Lake Spirits Reserve Vodka

by | Jan 15, 2016

The pursuit of smoothness is akin to the definition of vodka, and Bendistillery’s Crater Lake Spirits label hits that nail on the head with their unique Reserve vodka, distilled in Bend, Oregon from grain to an even 40 percent ABV. Cascade Mountain water is a big part of the playbill here; the rest of the smoothness is achieved in pass after pass after pass after pass through a combination of crushed lava rock and charcoal. While Crater Lake’s standard vodka, already an award-winning spirit, is filtered a robust 10 times through the same elements, the Reserve ups the ante tenfold.

Yes, you did that math right: Crater Lake’s Reserve Vodka is filtered a minimum of one hundred times. And the result? A complete elimination of impurities that leaves a fresh, clean, completely clear liquid one could sip by accident and hardly notice it was a spirit. Have you always hesitated when it comes to vodka martinis? This vodka may help you change your mind. Whatever you stir up, it’s guaranteed to go down utterly smooth.
