Hans Reisetbauer Axberg Vodka

Axberg is home — the village in the Upper Austrian municipality of Kirchberg-Thening where Hans Reisetbauer's distillery sits, and where the wheat for this vodka grows. Reisetbauer is widely considered the world's finest producer of fruit eau-de-vie, a distiller so obsessive he tore down and rebuilt his entire distillery in 2019 for stills that control temperature to a twentieth of a degree, and this is that same precision applied to the most unforgiving spirit category there is. The base is 100% organic Mulan winter wheat grown in the family's own fields, a robust variety chosen for its clean length and natural fruit sweetness, distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still — not a column — with only the heart of each run kept, then cut with low-calcium, low-sodium water from an unpolluted Alpine spring in the Mühlviertel. Frost and sterilization filtering handles clarity; nothing is added. Bottled at 40% ABV. Skurnik's tasters describe cream and vanilla on the nose opening into a luscious, velvety palate with white pepper and a faint hint of spicy tarragon, the aroma reemerging on the finish. Expect a genuinely soft, round texture with subtle grain sweetness, a touch of citrus, and zero burn. This is a Martini vodka above all, with enough elegance to sip neat and ice cold. Proof that vodka doesn't have to be neutral to be pure.
