At Hangar 1, the California way isn’t just their motto, it’s their way of life. It’s distilled into everything we represent and everything we do, from how we make Straight vodka to the innovations in our Distiller’s Exclusive spirits. The California way defines Hanger, and their take on spirits. California is the home of Hanger 1 and their terroir, and they will continue to draw upon it for endless inspiration, ingredients, and innovation.

Here’s what judges had to say on tasting notes:

“Bright citrus notes on the nose.  Amazing sweet lemon flavor coats the palate and carries through to a long lingering finish.  Would be lovely over ice and lends itself beautifully to be made into a cocktail.” Kimberly Morini.

“Bright citrus nose. Sweet, perfumed citrus palate”, Megan Quinlan.

“Lots of beautiful sweet citrus!!!” – Russell Sheldon.

Here’s what Hangar 1 says about its product:

Buddha’s hand citron isn’t just a funny-looking lemon; it’s the ancient relative of the modern lemon. Like all great lineages, its flavors and aromas run so much deeper – notes of jasmine, basil, and apricot all mingle. Its acid bite is milder than a standard lemon, allowing these secondary flavors to take center stage, and dance ballet on your palate. The purified lemon extracts in other vodkas give you a single note. Our Buddha’s Hand plays the whole symphony.

NOSE: Lemon peel, grapefruit, citrus pith, lemon balm, with a hint of ginger. 

TASTE: Big, sweet, and juicy at the front with jasmine, basil, and apricot notes, then dissipates quickly into light ginger, lemon, grassy finish.
