Broken Shed Vodka Review
This New Zealand vodka boasts that it’s mostly made of water — “ancient” mineral water from the country’s Southern Alps and pure spring water from its North Island. We suppose that’s something, but the fact it’s distilled from cow whey might actually be why this vodka is so outstanding. It’s sophisticated and nuanced on the palate, with a creamy and rounded mouthfeel, leading to a slight, butterscotch sweetness on the finish.
