Some bottles hide on the shelf. This one does the opposite. An alien head with two black eyes looking back at you, and inside it a corn vodka filtered through stone older than the Earth itself.
Please note: this is not the Chrome edition. The bottle is clear glass with black eyes.
Expert description
OuterSpace Vodka is an American Vodka distilled five times from corn and bottled at 40%.
The idea came from Jim Denoon, who works with the design and development of glass packaging for a living. It shows. The bottle is shaped as an alien head and is at least as much shelf theatre as it is packaging. Behind the gimmick sits a properly made vodka: the corn comes from Iowa, the spirit runs through five distillations, and it is finally filtered through meteorite material dated at over four billion years. The vodka is gluten free.
Five distillations do something to the texture. It turns round and creamy rather than sharp, and the sweetness from the corn gets room to fill the middle before drying out again towards the end.
Tasting notes
Nose
Almost neutral on the first pass. Give it a moment and a light vanilla sweetness appears, along with something green, close to mint leaf.
Palate
Creamy and round. Corn sweetness sits clearly in the middle, soft and nearly milky, until a peppery warmth cuts through it.
Finish
The sweetness disappears faster than expected and leaves something dry and spiced. The warmth stays around far longer.

Did you know?
The meteorites the vodka is filtered through are dated at over four billion years. That makes them older than the grain, the water and the glass in the bottle, and older than practically the entire present surface of the Earth.
