Sub Rosa vodkas are made one batch at a time by soaking fresh herbs and spices in high proof alcohol. Each spice and herb is infused separately and combined to mirror both the original recipe and the target flavor profile. Due to variations in how these ingredients infuse, there are slight differences in each batch, which makes them more akin to a vintage wine than a monosyllabic spirit. Every once in awhile, you may notice some sediment or particulate that fell out of solution after filtering and bottling. Not to worry. This happens with infusions sometimes. To note these batch variations, each bottle is hand stamped with the year produced and the subsequent batch number.

Batch One is sold out nationwide. Batch Two is also sold out. Batch Three Tarragon is still available in Oregon, Washington State, Washington DC , Illinois and California. Batch Four Saffron is in Oregon, Washington State, California and Colorado.

Tarragon Batch One: Delicate tarragon licorice nose. Light notes of mint on the back of the palate. A slight pepper note. Very light green cast.

Saffron Batch One: Light cumin notes on the nose. Big lemony coriander mid-palate. A touch of heat. Clean, crisp flavors.

Tarragon Batch Two: Strong tarragon profile. There was so much tarragon in the alcohol that you may notice some chlorophyll particulate in the bottom of the bottle. Just like in a wine where there is sediment or tartrates that drop out.

Saffron Batch Two: Strong cumin on the nose and palate. Great balance.
