Sourcing 100% Upstate New York corn and proofing down with unfiltered water from the Catskill Mountain watershed gives this Brooklyn-distilled spirit a distinct regional terroir and a mineral-rich backbone. Passing the distillate over organic activated charcoal strips lingering congener impurities without heat-stripping the base grain's natural character. Skipping the chill-filtration phase leaves essential fatty acids intact, preserving a naturally rich weight across the tongue without relying on post-distillation sugar additives or artificial mouthfeel enhancers.
Subtle white pepper and tonka bean aromas open on the nose, transitioning into a round, velvety palate driven by notes of vanilla cream, fresh grass clippings, and lemon zest. In-house testing at USQ showed that the spirit retains its structural integrity and flinty clarity whether served neat or integrated into complex drinks. For an authentic NYC cocktail application, our team recommends a Vesper variant: shake 2 oz Fortress Vodka, 1 oz Navy Strength Gin, and 0.5 oz Lillet Blanc over ice, strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with a thin lemon peel twist.
