Gold Apricot Vodka was released in November 2018. It is one of two whole fruit infused vodka's produced by Black Infusions at the Bend Distillery in Tumalo Oregon. The other flavor is Black Fig. For some reason apricot has not been a widely used fruit for flavoring vodka. I've only reviewed two. One made by Skyy and the other made by Western Son. Gold Apricot is made from a vodka base of corn, and is distilled five times in a copper column still. The spirit is filtered five times through carbon and again through lava rocks. Pure Cascade mountain water is blended to reduce to proof. Dried California apricots are infused with the vodka base. A light filtering follows to retain the natural apricot flavor and golden color. Gold Apricot is hand bottled in small batches. It pours to a golden apple juice color. The aroma is dried apricot, corn and latex. The sweet and juicy apricot entry bursts with natural apricot, backed by corn vodka flavor. It fades with tart dried apricot and vanilla.
