Harlen D. Wheatley Clix Vodka 750ml

An impressive entry into the premium vodka market under the name of Harlan D Wheatley, master distiller at Buffalo Trace. CLIX is 159 in Roman numerals, the number of distillations used to produce the batches blended to produce this clean and crisp spirit. Harlen Davis Wheatley is the Master Distiller at Buffalo Trace, the man behind the creation of this vodka. The ‘CLIX’ in the name refers to the number ‘159’ expressed in Roman numerals, the number of distillations used to make this vodka. (Each plate in a column still is technically a distillation.) HDW CLIX is made 2,000 bottles at a time from 143 different 200 gallon batches of wash fermented from different mash bills of corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. These are fermented and distilled over a period of six months in specially constructed copper and stainless steel still. After distillation the vodka is rested for 12 months in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling.
