Hanger 1 Rosé vodka is a flavor-forward perfect alternative to regular wine. Unlike other rosé spirits, this vodka actually has a distinct taste of wine. With crisp floral and fruity notes, this full bodied vodka works amazingly in cocktails or on its own. With a faint bubblegum aftertaste, this vodka goes down smooth while still maintaining a high 60 proof. The vodka is designed with flavor in mind and comes in with notes of crisp apple, sweet pea blossoms and a hint of oak. The mouth-feel is smooth, silky and soft, and ends with a pleasant hint of cranberry.
The grapes and grains used to distill Hanger 1 Rosé vodka were meticulously chosen by head distiller Caley Shoemaker. Made with a blend of Northern California Petit Verdot and White Meritage, these grapes add to a full-bodied and flavor forward vodka that takes inspiration from the Bay Area where it is produced.
