Saaga 1763 Estonian Vodka

Saaga 1763 Estonian Vodka
Here is a drink in honor of our part-Estonian friend Karla D. Saaga 1763 is a new, unfiltered premium Estonian vodka bottled by Estonia's Scanfinest Ltd. The vodka is made by a slow distillation process from 90 percent winter rye and 10 percent wheat. According to Avenue Wine:

"The taste is clean as well, with a different character than most vodka. Sharp on the tongue and tingling to the lips with a silky, smooth feel to it. It has some interesting spicy notes that immediately made me want to take another sip. Drunk straight out of a snifter at room temperature it was excellent. Chilled shots sipped with dinner were even more so. But on the rocks with a splash of water it was really enjoyable as a floral sweetness joined the clean spiciness."

Bottles are available in New York, California, Texas and Florida and are priced at $34 for a 750 mL bottle or $49 for a litter bottle.
