The tequila-savvy bartender also has a weakness for vodka! Here are his favorite and best vodkas according to Jesse Estes.

Jesse Estes’ favorite vodka

Adnam’s Longshore Triple Malt vodka

A trio of malted grains make up the core of Adnams’ Longshore Triple Malt Vodka – malted barley, wheat and oats. The result is clean and enjoyably creamy indeed

Vestal vodka

Lime and kiwi appear first on the palate, shortly followed by mint choc-chip ice cream

Black cow vodka

Milk, floral, sweet and dry flavor notes

 

Don’t drink and drive. Enjoy responsibly.
