Made with an eau de vie distilled from fresh California fruit and a distilled orange-flower infusion, blended with spirit made from wheat grown on the Great Plains of the American Midwest.

The Hangar One team do not redistill this third-party spirit, reportedly believing that this would achieve nothing since the spirit is already highly rectified.

Like the rest of the Hangar One range, this is bottled without the addition of sugar. The chaps believe in using fresh fruit and don't like harsh filtration techniques so it's not unusual to find small residual solids, or "floaters" as they put it, in their vodka.
