Hangar 1 Vodka

Hangar 1, founded in 2001, is a quintessential California craft spirit, originally distilled in a repurposed WWII aircraft hangar in Alameda. It’s not an old classic, but a modern one, born from the minds at St. George Spirits who applied eau de vie distillation techniques to vodka. The brand is known for its innovative approach, blending vodka from American wheat with a touch of pot-distilled Viognier wine grapes, creating a distinct, smooth texture. This unique blend and their practice of infusing with fresh, whole ingredients—not just flavorings—sets them apart in the world of craft spirits.

Crafted in an old aircraft hangar by blending Midwestern grains with California Viognier grapes, Hangar 1 offers a distinctly smooth, subtly fruity, and floral profile. This unique combination provides a silky texture with delicate notes of pear, honeysuckle, and a crisp finish, making it shine in drinks where the spirit isn’t completely masked. It’s a natural fit for a bright Vodka Martini, a simple soda, or fruit-forward cocktails.

A fresh, floral aroma with hints of Asian pear and honeysuckle greets you. The palate is exceptionally smooth and slightly sweet from a blend of grains and grapes, offering a round mouthfeel with a subtle peppery spice before a clean, crisp finish with a lingering floral perfume.
