Shopping for Vodka
If you plan to mix up a few cocktails, your vodka selection is crucial to success. Allow us to walk you through the features of vodka and how to choose the best ones for your bar.
Prioritize Quality
Whether you plan to enjoy vodka straight or in cocktails, the quality of the spirit matters a great deal. For stellar results, you must start with a top-tier vodka. At Jacques Scott, we offer a range of top-shelf vodkas, including Ketel One, Ciroc, and Grey Goose.
Vodka by Type
Vodka is usually created by fermenting potatoes or grains, and the chosen ingredients affect the taste. Potatoes, grown within the earth, project earthy flavors when fermented for vodka creation while fermented corn gives vodka a sweeter taste.
Grey Goose, for instance, comes from winter wheat and has a flavor marked by baked bread, almonds, apples, and citrus. Ketel One is also wheat-based, and Ciroc vodka is made from grapes.
Vodkas often have flavor enhancements meant for you to choose based on the cocktails that you’re making.
