Interview with Barry Young, Distilling Master and Co-Owner of Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries, makers of Boyd and Blair Vodka.
Boyd and Blair Vodka is potato based vodka that has some very unique characteristics to it. I will be perfectly honest, I was very skeptical about how this product was going to taste coming from such a small company and knowing how rough potato vodka’s can be. Chopin is one of the few high end Potato vodka’s on the market and it is far from smooth.
As Mr. Young starts to describe the distilling process, it is extremely apparent that this is not going to be any ordinary vodka. They use only local potatoes and have a single 1,200 liter copper still.
