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, and formerly partner in a winery and brewery in Maine. Now, my new partner and I are currently in the process of starting an artisanal, farm distillery located on 370 acres in New York State called Dutch's Spirits. We will be specializing in premium, hand-made spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and malt whiskey, peach and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, gin, liqueurs, and cocktail bitters.

XML FeedsVodka Notes: Rehorst Premium Milwaukee Vodka
By Jonathan M. Forester on Feb 22, 2008 | In Spirits, Vodka Notes
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.
