As noted here earlier, Maryland has a new distillery on the eastern shore. Blackwater Distilling is the states “first licensed beverage alcohol distillery in nearly 30 years.”
Their “flagship product” is a wheat vodka called Sloop Betty. Last night I gave it test drink with a dry martini. It was just as smooth as my usual martini vodka, Grey Goose.
That’s about as far as I go in describing vodka. True vodkaphiles are better sources for more detailed reviews but since Sloop Betty is so new (it debuted just three months ago) not much has been written about it...yet.

Perhaps the best thing I can add is “I’ll have another.”
