A new vodka brand, Shooting Star Vodka, introduces a unique twist to the beverage by infusing it with a meteorite discovered in 1977.
According to report by New York Post, Shooting Star Vodka claims to be the first Ultra-Premium vodka infused with space rock, promising a distinctive taste and texture.
The liquor made its debut in the United States on Friday, marking the first launch of its kind by Pegasus Distilleries.
Founded in France's Burgundy region in 2021, Shooting Star Vodka derives its name from one of the largest constellations and aims to embody celestial elements in its brand.
Maxime Girardin, the 27-year-old founder and CEO, explains that incorporating a meteorite into the vodka was a creative way to embody the brand's celestial theme.
The vodka is crafted from organic wheat and botanicals sourced from France, distilled using advanced iStill technology, and meticulously reduced with pure spring water from a well beneath the distillery.
After distillation, the product is aged for at least one year in terracotta jars, with the meteorite suspended in the liquid, imparting a unique mineral flavor to the vodka.
Shooting Star Vodka boasts a smooth, round mouthfeel with a sweet note and minerality from the meteorite, enhancing the overall taste experience.
With only 4,806 bottles produced and priced between $180 to $200 each, enthusiasts are encouraged to act swiftly to secure a taste of this celestial-inspired vodka.
