Bear + Prophet Rested on Oak Vodka 750mL

Bear + Prophet Rested on Oak is a grape-based vodka from Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes, rested 13 months in red wine barrels for a honeyed hue and orchard-fruit character — a barrel-rested vodka from Donati Spirits on California's Central Coast.

Donati Spirits was founded in 2020 to craft spirits alongside the Donati family's Central Coast wines. This expression takes the estate grape-based vodka and rests it for 13 months in Petit Verdot red wine barrels, drawing color and flavor from the wood in a way far more typical of whiskey than vodka.
