Note from Todd Leopold, Master Distiller - "Silver Tree Vodka is silky, slightly sweet and a very clean vodka. While most distilleries use either potatoes or grain when making vodka, I use both to get the silkiness from the potatoes and the sweetness of the grains. I distill Silver Tree 7 times so that I do not have to filter it. When running any spirit through a filter, many of the nuances and characteristics that the larger particles lend to the liquid are lost, and you end up with a watery, flat-tasting spirit. I created Silver Tree to be a smooth vodka that has character and contributes a noticeable difference to a cocktail that can also be enjoyed on the rocks."
