Hangar 1 Buddha’s Hand Citron Vodka 1L

Lemon peel, grapefruit, and a hint of ginger on the nose lead to a big, sweet, juicy front palate of jasmine, basil, and apricot that fades into light ginger, lemon, and a clean, grassy finish.

Buddha's hand is an ancient, fragrant citron from India and China, often called the great grandfather of the lemon, with a mild, low acid bite that lets floral and herbal secondary flavors show through. Hangar 1 works with specialist growers and uses the whole fruit rather than the extracts common in citrus vodkas, and the bottle won Vodka of the Year at the 2021 USA Spirits Ratings. The brand began in 2001 under St. George Spirits founder Jörg Rupf in a World War II hangar at the old Alameda Naval Air Station.
