Vintage Distilling Duo

The Vintage Distilling Duo pairs two bottles from one small producer. Vintage Distilling registered its name for distilled spirits in 2017. Its labels include a Handcrafted Vodka and a Honey Vodka made with natural honey. This set lets you try two expressions side by side and compare how each one is made.

Buying both at once works well for gifting. You get a ready-made tasting flight without hunting down each bottle. It is a good way to learn what a brand does well. It also gives you two options on the bar cart, one for sipping and one for mixing.

As described on this page so far, the pair leans warm and rich. You can expect vanilla and caramel first, with dried fruit and a light touch of oak. A little spice comes through as you sip. Each spirit takes its own angle on that profile. The texture is smooth, and the finish lasts, with caramel and spice holding on.

Set the bottles out with a board of cured meats and aged cheese. Crème brûlée or a square of dark chocolate is a nice sweet match. Roast meats and hearty stews pair well on a cold night.

Chill the bottles before guests arrive and pour small measures side by side. Ask everyone which one they would buy again. It is an easy way to turn a bottle of spirits into a small tasting party. Fans of craft producers will enjoy finding a name they have not tried before.
