LumiereVodka is a black-owned vodka that won Double Gold at this year's Barleycorn Awards. Produced at Holland's De Kleine Distilleerderij, it's triple distilled in Dutch whiskey stills from malted barley and panela sugar imported from El Salvador. Unlike other tasteless vodkas, Lumiere doesn't filter its distillate. The result is a fragrant aroma of vanilla with subtle malty sweetness. You also get vanilla bean and butterscotch on the palate, followed by a long finish of fresh pastry. At 80 proof, it's an easy sipper that drinks light on the rocks and makes a dreamy cocktail.
