Welcome to Drinking the World; my thoughts on fine libations, special spirits, and fabulous cocktails. My name is Jonathan M. Forester and I'm a food & beverage writer / consultant. Formerly partner in Winterport Winery and Penobscot Bay Brewery from 2007-2009. I'm also in the process of starting up an artisanal, micro-batch distillery specializing in super premium spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskey, peach, pear, and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, and gin. The style will be American from the Gilded Age, the last 25 years of the 19th century.
I am going to add to this site as quickly as I can, but I am a bit pressed for time. I have around 200+ pieces already written to post here, as well as hundreds of cocktail recipes. As time permits I will add them to the archives.

XML FeedsVodka Notes: Rehorst Premium Milwaukee Vodka
By Jonathan M. Forester on Feb 22, 2008 | In Spirits, Vodka Notes | Send feedback »
Rehorst Premium Milwaukee Vodka is 40% abv. / 80 proof and made by the Great Lakes Distillery in Milwaukee, WI. The first distillery to open in the state since prohibition and the only one so far.
The aroma is light, faintly floral and soft; with hints of peppery spices and the slightest sweet and buttery tones I associate with premium wheat based vodkas. There are some additional light notes that are very complex, unique, and enjoyable that come through after the vodka has opened up for a few minutes that are reminiscent of wild flowers, sweet fruit, and grassy herbs.
The taste is very light and clean with just a hint of grains and sharp pepper; with the bare suggestion of sweetness topped with the faintest hint of butter. Rehorst vodka is a great vodka to use for cocktails, highballs, and mixed drinks; where you want a vodka with some character, without having too much that would interfere with the other ingredients. Vodka drinkers who like peppery and floral notes will also enjoy it served ice cold in shots or on the rocks.
