After mashing and fermenting the wheat for approximately five days, Sachs distills the wash through his custom-made, twin 650-liter copper-pot stills imported from Germany. \"Some people have said saxophone; some people have said flute; some people have said Willy Wonka,\" says Sachs of the still's appearance. \"But it is an incredible instrument.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOnce the wheat has been distilled, Sachs gives the sour mash to a local farmer, who uses it as feed for his cattle.  Then, he brings the vodka to proof with pure snowmelt water sourced from the Catskill Mountains, before filling and labeling each bottle by hand. The mineral-rich water adds a surprising aroma of creamy butter, soft caramel and baked bread to the vodka.  In addition, Peace Vodka has rich notes of sweet vanilla and soft hints of cinnamon, which lead to an impossibly smooth, silky finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCatskills Peace Vodka earned four stars from F. Paul Pacult's \u003cem\u003eSpirit Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, which \"highly recommended\"the vodka, and earned the Gold Medal at the New York Food and Wine Classic in 2012.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPromote peace and pick up a bottle of Catskill Distilling's Peace Vodka today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Catskill Distilling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Nestled in the foothills of the Catskill mountains and located just moments away from the site of the original Woodstock Music Festival, Catskill Distilling Company honors the rich history of the Sullivan County Catskills — a unique blend of tradition and revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOver three decades ago, Monte Sachs — Catskill Distilling Company's founder and distiller — attended veterinary school at the University of Pisa in Italy.  After class each day, Sachs would meet with an Italian farmer named Bernardini, who taught Sachs how to distill grappa.  \"He taught me about the importance of sourcing quality ingredients from small farms and about how the shape and size of a still is reflected in the weight and mouthfeel of the spirits,\" says Sachs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCatskill Distilling Company's Most Righteous Bourbon is the result of a collaboration between Sachs and Lincoln Henderson, the creator of Woodford Reserve Bourbon and Angel's Envy Bourbon.  Sachs sources a mash of 70% corn, 20% rye and 10% malted barley from Cochecton Mills, a local farm in upstate New York, and then mills the grains inside his 5,000 square-foot distillery.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3100\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Catskill Distilling bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Vodka\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorians are not clear on the exact origin of vodka since different sources link its beginning to both Russia and Poland.
