What makes a cocktail as delicious as the heart you put into making it? Your choice of vodka has a lot to do with it. “I only use the heart of each run of Boyd & Blair. The flavor from the hearts is delicious and super-concentrated, but the tails smell like a musty dishrag and provide the bite that is experienced when drinking certain vodkas. Most distillers include some amount of tails in an effort to produce more yield. The amount of tails that are added to the final product greatly impact the final flavor profile. I never include any tails in Boyd & Blair, only the hearts.” – Barry Young, co-founder and Master Distiller of Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries.
