The boys at Ventura Spirits are known for doing some wild stuff. Some of their projects are secretive explorations around distillation and its many variables, while others are the result of wild happenstance. That's how their popular Strawberry Vodka came to be, distilled multiple times from a huge amount of strawberries that they literally stumbled upon. What they don't tell you is that the first and most pungent cuts of each of those batches of vodka are diverted to a speculative project that has finally come to fruition. After years of aging in ex-wine barrels, this one-of-a-kind Strawberry Brandy is just as delicious as Ventura Spirits dreamed it might be. Big, powerful aromas of candied strawberries and vanilla spice are followed by a rich, sweet mouth feel and a soft long finish. The aromatics and richness trick your brain into thinking it will be sweet, but make no mistake this is nothing more than high-quality strawberry distillate, French oak barrels and 5 years of maturation. As expected, this is very limited production.
