Unleash the Mountain Strength: A Deep Dive into Gorilla Spirits Blackback Vodka
Hailing from the heart of Hampshire, Gorilla Spirits Blackback Mountain Strength Vodka isn't your average spirit. This IWSC Gold Medal winner boasts a unique character, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Here at The General Wine Company, we're diving deep into this award-winning vodka, exploring its flavour profile, ideal serving suggestions, and why it deserves a place on your top shelf.
A Celebration of British Ingredients:
Blackback takes pride in its British roots. Distilled from 100% British wheat, the vodka undergoes a meticulous process to achieve its exceptional smoothness. The wheat base provides a clean, neutral foundation, allowing the subtle nuances of the distillation to shine through.
The Pot Still Magic:
What truly sets Blackback apart is its pot still finish. This traditional method allows for a slower, more gentle interaction between the alcohol vapours and the copper pot. This process helps to remove impurities while infusing the spirit with a subtle warmth and depth of character often missing in mass-produced vodkas.
Tasting Profile: A Journey for the Palate
Nose: Blackback presents a clean and inviting nose. There's no harsh alcohol burn, just a hint of gentle sweetness that hints at the underlying wheat character. Subtle whispers of spice may also emerge, particularly for those accustomed to exploring vodkas with a bit more complexity.
Palate: The first sip is a revelation. Blackback's creamy texture immediately coats the tongue, offering a luxurious mouthfeel. The initial sweetness detected on the nose translates into a subtle warmth on the palate, without any cloying sensation. As the vodka rolls across the tongue, hints of spice emerge, perhaps a touch of white pepper or ginger. These fleeting notes add intrigue without overpowering the clean, wheaty core. The finish is long and delicate, leaving a pleasant warmth that lingers without any bitterness.
Serving Suggestions: A Versatile Spirit for Every Occasion
Blackback's smooth character and subtle complexity make it a perfect vodka for a variety of drinking experiences.
- Neat or on the Rocks: For true vodka aficionados, Blackback is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. This allows the spirit's full flavour profile to be appreciated. A splash of chilled water can help open up the aromas further, revealing the intricacies of the pot still finish.
- Classic Cocktails: Blackback elevates classic vodka cocktails. Its smooth texture and lack of harshness make it ideal for a perfectly balanced martini, a refreshing Moscow Mule, or a crisp Cosmopolitan. The subtle spice notes can also add an interesting twist to a Bloody Mary.
