Poppin's Vodka

Poppins Vodka takes a classic category and gives it a playful nudge with colourful editions and an easygoing tone. Rather than trying to be yet another serious premium vodka, the brand leans into something more fun and accessible. This is vodka for people who want flavour and a good time over heavy distillation lore.

Poppins Family Original Sour Mash Vodka USA 75 cl 46,2%

Item no.: 22227865479-8875

In Bardstown, Kentucky, almost everything is about bourbon. Limestone below the ground, corn fields above it, and a mashing method handed down since the 1800s. Now and then the spirit does not go into an oak barrel but becomes vodka instead. Poppins is one of those.
Expert description
Poppins Family Original Sour Mash Vodka is an American Vodka from Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, distilled from corn and rye in small batches and bottled at 46.2%.
Sour mash is the single most important trick in the bourbon world, and it is rare to meet it in a vodka. The method takes a portion of the spent, acidic mash from the previous distillation and stirs it into the new one. The acidity keeps unwanted bacteria down, the yeast gets better working conditions, and every batch carries a little of the one before. It is continuity turned into technique.
The bottling strength of 46.2% is the other clear decision. Most vodkas stop at 40%, and the extra degrees register immediately: more weight, more warmth and a plainer grain character from the corn and the rye. This is not a vodka that vanishes inside a drink.
Tasting notes
Nose
Sweet grain and a touch of vanilla. Behind it sits a dry rye spice of the kind you meet in young whiskey.
Palate
Full and broad. Corn sweetness leads, then a peppery rye note, and the alcohol gives a clear shove halfway through.
Finish
Long and dry. The warmth holds while the sweetness falls away, leaving the spice standing on its own.
