Sacred Spring vodka takes its name from Castle & Key’s limestone-rich water source located at the heart of the distillery’s grounds. The other critical ingredient in this exceptional vodka is the grain; Castle & Key leans into the cereal richness of its classic bourbon mash to produce a clean, lightly sweet vodka with an unctuous, silky texture. Versatile in cocktails, it’s a respectable sipper—a whiskey drinker’s vodka, if you will.

Tasting Notes

‘Sacred Spring’ Vodka has the same mash bill as Castle & Key’s small batch straight bourbon; 73% white corn, 10% rye, and 17% malted barley. Its first distillation takes place on a 50’ Vendome copper column still, followed by a 600-gallon copper pot still, then finally on a custom Vendome vodka still. Proofed with water sourced from Castle & Key’s historic “key”-shaped limestone spring, the aroma is light and sweet with hints of cashew and citrus that extends to the clean palate, followed by vanilla bean and a hint of buttered, multigrain toast. Non-chill filtered; 40% ABV
