Sugar Momma Vodka

“Everyone makes vodka. Why is your vodka different?”

Sugar Momma is a sipping vodka. It can be mixed with a number of ingredients, but it truly shines all by itself, or shaken with ice. Fermented from molasses and blended with local spring water, our Sugar Momma provides a sipping experience unlike other flavorful vodkas.

We’ll let Scott Stursa of the Corvallis Epicurean speak for us:

The stuff exudes a distinct bouquet of brown sugar, similar to a lot of rums. On the palate it’s extraordinarily smooth, and has a richness uncharacteristic of vodka. Seriously, if you’re a rum fan, this is your vodka. When the weather warms up a bit more, I’m going to try this in a Mojito.

Historically in the U.S., vodka has been a spirit designed to hide behind mixers, unlike the traditional vodkas from Russia and Poland, which allowed their base fermentable (usually potato) to assert itself.

If we use molasses, why isn’t it rum? This question is answered by the still. We pot distill our molasses wash, then run the resulting low wines through reflux columns designed to distill to 97% alcohol. Most, but not all, of the flavor is stripped out.

Only $17.95 a bottle. Order in any Oregon liquor store: #6949B.
