Blinking Owl “Trinitarian”: 3 SPIRIT bottles in one, happy pack
Your Trinitarian includes the following:
Blinking Owl Vodka
Blinking Owl Vodka has stunning earthiness, subtle flavor and rich, full-bodied mouth feel. Distilled in house from organic wheat grown in California, and our unique twist from the organic malted barley that was added to the mash bill adding hints of sweet vanilla and caramel. Distilled in our Carl still from Germany (that includes 34 rectification plates alongside a pot still), Blinking Owl Vodka transfers the essence from the grain it was made from to the glass.
Blinking Owl OC Orange Vodka
Beginning with our beautiful Vodka, we add 130 pounds of whole Valencia oranges that come from Heritage Museum of Orange County and the historic Nisson Ranch orchard. We hand-cut the oranges and let the entire orange soak (including flesh, pith, juice and peel) in the Vodka overnight. The vodka is then re-distilled with oranges added to our vapor basket in the still. The combination of natural orange macerations and vapor distillation to an already rich, sweet vodka base creates a true orange essence to this flavored vodka that is full-bodied and delicious.
Blinking Owl Gin
Blinking Owl Gin is made from our house-made neutral grain spirit using organic California wheat with a touch of organic malted barley and features a total of 13 botanicals. The result is a delicate, complex California botanical-style gin. The primary flavors are Juniper, Hibiscus (as it is the flower of Santa Ana), Lemon Peel, Orange Peel, and Sage. This is a full-bodied gin that has enough juniper to hold up in cocktails yet is delicate enough to be enjoyed in a classic martini or, our favorite way, up.
