Day 19: Potato Vodka

January 25, 2021  /  nogs website

Vodka can be made from all kinds of products: wheat, rye, barley, corn, molasses, grapes and of course potatoes.

Two of the most popular ingredients used in the distillation process for vodka are grains and potatoes. But what's the difference between the two?

Experts believe that grain vodka has less of a flavour than the distinctive taste of potato vodka with a heavier ‘mouth feel’ and aromatic profile.

Popular grain vodkas include big names like Grey Goose, Smirnoff, Stolichnaya, and Ketel One.

Potato vodka brands include Boyd & Blair and Woody Creek.

Today’s variety - Picasso (Maincrop)

Potato ‘Picasso’ produces huge yields of waxy fleshed tubers with striking red eyes.

Good all-round disease and drought resistance making it a garden and allotment favourite.

A versatile variety in the kitchen, particularly for baking and mashing.

Awarded an RHS Award of Garden Merit.

About my January Potato Journey

I am trying to build up my horticulture knowledge, all views are my own and are intended to be in a positive spirit.

I am a member of Nottingham Organic Gardeners (NOGs)

The daily posts are hoped to feature varieties which are likely to be part of Nottingham Organic Gardeners’ Potato Day and some fun potato trivia.

Also to be my celebration of the potato and Nottingham Organic Gardeners Potato Day.
