Death’s Door Vodka Tasting Notes

Nose: Wonderfully clean, faint cream-of-soda vanilla and brown bread with very mild peppery spice.

Palate: Clean with creamy mouthfeel and enlivening cracked black pepper spice with faint toasted brown bread and vanilla.

Finish: Cracked black pepper with faint vanilla, toasted almond, raisins and toasted brown bread. Very faint star anise/fennel lingers.

Distillery Information

Death’s Door Spirits began back in 2005, in part as an experiment, when a group of people began trying to start farming on the island once more – swapping potatoes for wheat. Brothers Tom and Ken Koyen had enough seed to plant five acres, and this grain is used in all of Death’s Door Spirits today. The company’s new state of the art craft distillery was opened in June 2012, and is the largest craft distillery in Wisconsin, as well as being one of the biggest in the region.
