Our/New York Basil Vodka

Detailed Description

We start out with fresh, non-GMO basil from Brooklyn-based urban farm Square Roots being delivered to Our/Distillery in Manhattan. Our team de-stems and hand-chops the basil, and allows it to infuse for more than 24 hours in a mixture of our base spirit and New York water. The infused liquid is filtered to remove the solid basil particles, then carefully distilled using our small-batch copper still. This is the part of the process that reveals the underlying complexity of the herb, allowing the normally subtle underlying flavors to come through. The final stage of the process is mixing rich and flavorful basil distillate once more with our base spirit and our famous New York water from the Catskills. As always, every batch is bottle by hand in Chelsea.
