Massbytes hosted its first Booze Club tasting on Sunday April 14th. It was held at Maximum Hesh, a local skate shop in Davis Square. About 20 people showed up to enjoy vodka and mingle.
We tried 5 different vodkas. Everyone got a chance to vote for their favorite by secret ballot. Also provided was Q’s Nuts, which we eagerly devoured between vodkas.First up was Doublecross, a seven times distilled vodka from Slovakia. It went down smooth and was a good start.
The next was Crop’s Tomato Vodka, an American brand. It was very light, and had a clean flavor. The tomato flavor was subtle and added to the taste.
The third one we tried was Pinnacle’s Coconut Vodka. Pinnacle in known for distilling many flavored vodka’s. The coconut was sweet, it took me back to younger days, this would be a good vodka for mixing in cocktails, the flavor was very forward.
The last two of offerings came from New Amsterdam Spirits. I was only familiar with their gin at this point, but they make good vodka and tasty peach vodka as well.
Overall I enjoyed the New Amsterdam Peach the most, and got a drink of it with cranberry and lime. Delicious! The winner though was Crop’s tomato vodka, another excellent choice.
Thanks to Maximum Hesh and Todd Brugman for graciously providing the space for the event.
The event was sponsored by Q-nuts and Maximum Hesh
