"It doesn’t contain vodka or any other distilled spirits. Instead it is made through fermentation, like beer, but starting from a base of sugar instead of cereal grains like barley."
This is a roundabout way of saying it's undistilled vodka. All spirits are fermented before distillation (or else what is there to distill?), and some vodkas already start with pure sugar instead of grains, potatoes, or fruit.
- draw_down 7y agoWell, OK. They use the word "distilled" to distinguish between the two, so I'm not sure I agree it's as obfuscatory as you imply.
- jdminhbg 7y ago> This is a roundabout way of saying it's undistilled vodka. Not really. Since you can make vodka from the same cereal grains that beer is made from, you could also describe beer as undistilled vodka, but that wouldn't make a ton of sense. Its major similarity to vodka is its neutral taste, not its base ingredients.
