You step off the street into a compact tasting room where the air smells faintly of oak and grain. Light filters through industrial windows; a rack of bottles catches it and the room fills with the low hum of a small-scale still. The tour begins with a pour—clean, cold vodka that speaks to the northern water that drives this place—and the guide traces the process from mash tun to bottle.
