CASTLE & KEY 'SACRED SPRING' VODKA, Kentucky

Castle & Key distillery is a tale of two dreams separated by over a hundred years coming true. In 1887, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. had a dream for a new kind of distillery and the future of whiskey in the United States. He built a one-of-a-kind distillery in Millville, Kentucky inspired by European architecture that featured a Castle, a classical Springhouse and a Sunken Garden. It became the birthplace of bourbon hospitality and tourism. Prohibition saw the distillery close in 1920 and eventually fall into ruins. Fast forward to 2014 and through the efforts of Will Arvin and others, the Old Taylor Distillery was restored. The name Castle & Key was deemed fitting as it highlighted both the historic distillery in the Castle and the importance of the grounds and watersource, the keyhole-shaped Springhouse.

Their Sacred Spring Vodka ia made from scratch using limestone-rich water from their Springhouse and a blend of 73% Corn, 17% Barley & 10% Rye. A subtle nose offer citrus and cashew. The silky, plush palate provides more bright citrus, slightly sweet vanilla bean, saline & a hint of buttered toast.
