Unveiling Fair Quinoa Vodka: A Unique Spirit with Ethical Flair 

Introduction

At The General Wine, we're always on the lookout for exciting new discoveries in the world of spirits. Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Fair Quinoa Vodka, a premium spirit that boasts not only exceptional taste but also ethical sourcing practices. This innovative vodka breaks the mould, using a unique grain – the ancient Andean superfood, quinoa – to create a smooth and characterful spirit.

A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

Fair Quinoa Vodka is the brainchild of a collaborative effort between French distillers and Bolivian farmers. It represents a fascinating fusion of tradition and innovation. The quinoa used in this vodka is organically grown in the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains, drawing nutrients from the rich volcanic soil. This ancient grain, cultivated by the Incas for over 5,000 years, lends a touch of history and heritage to the spirit.

Fair Trade Certified: A Commitment to Sustainability

One of the most commendable aspects of Fair Quinoa Vodka is its commitment to fair trade practices. The vodka is certified Fairtrade, ensuring that Bolivian quinoa farmers receive fair compensation for their crops. This not only empowers local communities but also contributes to sustainable agricultural practices.

Tasting Fair Quinoa Vodka: A Sensory Journey

On the Nose:

Pour yourself a glass of Fair Quinoa Vodka, and take a moment to appreciate its clarity. As you bring the glass closer, the initial impression is one of clean neutrality. However, a closer inspection reveals a subtle hint of minerality, reminiscent of the volcanic soil where the quinoa is grown.

On the Palate:

The first sip of Fair Quinoa Vodka is a revelation. Unlike traditional vodkas that can be harsh on entry, this spirit delivers a smooth and silky mouthfeel. The initial neutrality gives way to a surprising complexity. Delicate notes of toasted nuts, particularly cashews and almonds, emerge, followed by a gentle sweetness reminiscent of brown butter. This sweetness is beautifully balanced by a subtle earthy character, hinting at the quinoa's unique heritage.

The Finish:

The finish of Fair Quinoa Vodka is clean and lingering. The nuttiness persists, leaving a pleasant warmth at the back of the throat. The overall impression is one of elegance and refinement.

Serving Suggestions

Fair Quinoa Vodka's versatility makes it a perfect choice for a variety of cocktails. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

  • The Classic Martini: For a sophisticated twist on the classic martini, use Fair Quinoa Vodka instead of gin. Combine 2 ounces of Fair Quinoa Vodka with ½ ounce of dry vermouth, stir well with ice, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
  • The Andean Mule: Embrace the spirit's Andean roots with this refreshing take on the Moscow Mule. Combine 2 ounces of Fair Quinoa Vodka with ½ ounce of fresh lime juice, top with ginger beer in a copper mug filled with ice, and garnish with a lime wedge.
  • The Fair Spritz: For a lighter option, create a delightful summer spritzer. Combine 1 ounce of Fair Quinoa Vodka with 2 ounces of sparkling water, top with a splash of elderflower liqueur, and garnish with a sprig of mint.

The Ethical Choice for Discerning Drinkers

Fair Quinoa Vodka is more than just a delicious spirit; it's a conscious choice. By opting for this vodka, you're not only indulging in a unique and flavourful experience, but you're also supporting ethical sourcing practices and sustainable agriculture.
