Guillotine Heritage Vodka (750ml)

Guillotine Heritage Vodka French Barrel-Aged Vodka | 45% ABV | 90 Proof | 750mL | Smooth, Rich & Distinctive Guillotine Heritage Vodka is an exceptionally distinctive French vodka crafted from grapes sourced from the prestigious Aÿ-Champagne region of France. Made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes and produced at a historic French distillery, this expression takes a unique approach to vodka by combining traditional French winemaking heritage with barrel maturation. Unlike traditional clear vodkas, Guillotine Heritage is matured in French Limousin oak barrels previously used for Cognac and Armagnac. This aging process gives the spirit its beautiful golden-amber color while adding layers of vanilla, cinnamon, subtle spice, gentle wood, and a soft sweetness. The result is a remarkably smooth vodka with additional depth and richness that makes it equally compelling for sipping or sophisticated cocktails. Guillotine Heritage offers a refined alternative to conventional vodka, showcasing the character that can emerge when a grape-based spirit is given time to interact with French oak. Its rounded texture, subtle fruit character, and warm barrel influence make it an intriguing addition to a premium spirits collection.
