Odd Society Spirits Celebrates 2nd Birthday with Barrel-Aged Vodka
Odd Society Spirits is commemorating their second birthday with the release of their first barrel-aged vodka on Thursday, October 29, 2015. Made by hand in East Vancouver from twice-distilled BC-grown malted barley, and aged in whisky barrels for four months, Odd Society’s Aged Vodka is warm, creamy and smooth with rich vanilla and oak flavours. With a limited run of just over 350 bottles, this celebratory spirit is available only at the distillery in 375 mL bottles and priced at $24.
“We came up with the idea of serving barrel-aged vodka in our cocktail lounge while we wait for the whisky to develop,” says Gordon Glanz, Odd Society Spirits Founder and Distiller. “Our 100% malted barley vodka is already very smooth, the aging makes it taste like a light Scotch.”
Odd Society’s birthday celebration will include an extended happy hour from 4PM until 7PM on October 29 with doors closing at 10PM. Guests are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes as a first-run bottle of the aged vodka will be awarded to the best costume. Bartender Kylie Bartlett will be pouring unique drinks including one of her newest cocktail creations: When I Grow Up…
