California Craft Spirits Gold Medal 2018

2018 Gold Medal

California Mid-State Fair

76 Proof – 38% ABV – 750 ml

Ingredients: Big Buddha is a Citron infused Vodka distilled with Neutral Grain Spirits from 100% Organic Italian Wheat. This is a unique and exciting spirit made from California grown Citron fruits Buddha Hand and Etrog which are sourced direct from the ranch. The fruit is both macerated and vapor infused in the gin basket on the still, which provides for a full flavor profile.

Tasting notes: Big Buddha Citron Spirit is bursting with exotic citrus aromas. It is less acidic than a lemon and the bled of both the Buddha Hand and Etrog Citron fruits provide flavors of lemon oil, soft herbal notes and citrus blossom on the finish.

Big Buddha Citron Spirit is blended with pure mountain spring water to capture the finest flavors possible.

How to drink: Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in a favorite cocktail.
