Hangar 1 Makrut Lime Vodka

Detailed Description

Lime can be very temperamental and difficult to distill, and after all that hard work you can still end up with a spirit that smells and tastes like artificially flavored candy. Enter the makrut lime – the Thais use this citrus because of its high aromatic oil content and bold flavor. The resulting spirit is nothing like we have ever tasted – unmistakably lime and endlessly complex.
