AMASS is a California-based company, whose co-founder and master distiller is Morgan McLachlan, who uses solely plant materials as the basis of all its products. She experiments with a variety of natural, non-GMO plants, herbs and spices to create unique combinations for physical and mental balance. The basis of this vodka is aquavit, a spirit made in Scandinavia, which is distilled from grain or potatoes and flavoured with various herbs. Its origin is the Latin aqua vitae, which comes from the expression ‘water of life’, and is an important part of the Scandinavian drinking tradition. The combination of marigold, chamomile and lemon used for the base gave this vodka a delicate floral character and tea aromas, as well as fresh citrusiness.
