Tokyo Nights Japanese Vodka, Japan

A molasses=based Vodka from Japan with a hint if exotic citrus to remind you you’re alive.

BBC Wine and Spirits was founded in 2010 by Bogdan Tonasiou and Bertrand Fradin as a Wine exporter. But the company soon blossomed into the distribution of a wide range of Spirits covering virtually every category and ultimately in creating their own brands as well. Located in Bordeaux, France, they now sell into more than thirty countries with an emphasis on North America and Europe.

Tokyo Nights Vodka adds an extra distillation to their molasses-based Spirit — bringing the total to three. It’s then filtered four times through birchwood charcoal, yielding an exceptionally smooth Vodka base. But then they take it one additional step. They infuse a hint of yuzu into the Spirit. Not so much that it becomes flavored, but just enough so that the essence of this classic East Asian flavor haunts the palate.
