Infused with Meeker Raspberries from the Fraser River valley in northern Washington state. Bottled once a year, in season. People get excited about the Fraser River Raspberry vodka because it tastes just like fresh raspberries, not raspberry" flavoring. Theres no added sugar. Theres no added anything. It"s just raspberries and vodka.We macerate and distill the berries, then blend in fresh raspberry juice. The juice adds complexity and a natural color. We had a totally fabulous design for the raspberry bottle, but when we put the finished product in it, the fresh juice didn"t like the UV rays that came through the clear glass. Now we use a green bottle that gives full UV protection, so we can keep distilling what we think is a truly exceptional spirit.. The bouquet rushes out from the sampling copita offering concentrated notes of fresh-picked raspberries; with time, the bouquet takes on a densely preserves-like personality. The entry flavor is lean, astringent and fruity; at midpalate the flavor turns vinous, leafy, off-dry to bitter, just as raspberries off the vine can be. Ends on a bittersweet note.- P.P.
