Was over on the dry side of the mountains this weekend and stopped by Bend Distillery on the way home.
Got some samples of some really good small batch vodkas.
My favorite was the pepper infused vodka. If you like it spicy you'd like this stuff.
Straight out of the bottle it's pretty hot. My wife put the flavors as "it's like eating a good piece of pepper jack cheese". Has a real nice flavor and heat level too it.
I had a mixed drink made with it. Forgot what it was called, but it was mango juice, muddled lime and the pepper vodka. Was awesome! The sweet from the mango tamed down the heat, but left a nice tingle on the finish.
Came home with a fifth of it.
Thinking it'd be pretty good in a marinade or sauce too.
They just went through a rebranding to rename everything under the Crater Lake name, so some of the names on the website are still old, but it's all the same stuff, just new labels and names.
