Vodka neat or on the rocks isn’t the first beverage you'd think of ordering at the bar. But there’s a new brand of craft spirit available on LCBO shelves that has a surprisingly clean taste worthy of enjoying without the usual mixes or liqueurs.
Nütrl Vodka, from Goodridge & Williams Craft Distillery in Delta, British Columbia, is made using rye grains grown in the distillery’s home province. The grains go through a 76-step distillation process in a 24-foot-tall, two-tower copper still that was special ordered by the distillery. Exposure to copper is believed to help create a smoother spirit.
Nütrl bills itself as the “Most Neutral Vodka in the World” and the spirit is incredibly clean and smooth with a nice warmth to finish. If you aren’t quite ready to drink your vodka neat, Nütrl works well with any of your favourite vodka cocktail recipes.
$38.45 for 750mL, LCBO
