Citation? Neither of these wikipedia articles makes such an assertion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka_infusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodka_infusion. There's certainly no shortage of what I've always heard called 'flavored vodkas' on the shelves of any liquor store I've been to lately. What do you call them?
- nkurz 16y agoI have no particular knowledge, but this looks like an appropriate citation: § 5.22 The standards of identity. Standards of identity for the several classes and types of distilled spirits set forth in this section shall be as follows (see also §5.35, class and type): (a) Class 1; neutral spirits or alcohol. “Neutral spirits” or “alcohol” are distilled spirits produced from any material at or above 190° proof, and, if bottled, bottled at not less than 80° proof. (1) “Vodka” is neutral spirits so distilled, or so treated after distillation with charcoal or other materials, as to be without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color. This definition does not seem to preclude the existence of "flavored vodka": (i) Class 9; flavored brandy, flavored gin, flavored rum, flavored vodka, and flavored whisky. “Flavored brandy, “flavored gin,” “flavored rum,” “flavored vodka,” and “flavored whisky,” are brandy, gin, rum vodka, and whisky, respectively, to which have been added natural flavoring materials, with or without the addition of sugar, and bottled at not less than 60° proof. http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&rgn=div8&view=text&node=27:1.0.1.1.3.3.25.2&idno=27 http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&rgn...
