PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CLIX is an ultra-premium, small-batch vodka by Buffalo Trace Distillery, spearheaded by Master Distiller Harlen Davis Wheatley. It’s positioned as a “perfect vodka” effort — very refined, very limited, with craftsmanship emphasized at every stage. It comes in an ornate decanter and only a few thousand bottles per batch are produced.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Distillery / Maker | Buffalo Trace Distillery (Kentucky, USA), under Master Distiller Harlen D. Wheatley. |
| Name “CLIX” Meaning | “CLIX” is Roman numeral for 159, which refers to the number of separate distillations in its production. |
| Grains / Mash Bill | A multi-grain blend: red winter wheat, rye, yellow dent corn, and malted barley. |
| Quantity Produced | Only around 332 gallons in the first batch, translating to approximately 2,000 bottles. Very limited. |
| Resting Time | After distillation, the vodka is rested in stainless steel tanks for 12 months to smooth and round out texture. |
| ABV / Proof | 40% ABV / 80 proof. |
| Packaging | Presented in a lead-free crystal decanter with a cork travel stopper and a crystal stopper, often in a custom case or box. High emphasis on presentation. |
| Aspect | Notes / Impressions |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Clean, polished, subtle. “Fresh nectar” impression; light grain sweetness; delicate floral or citrus blossom notes; very little harshness or solvent-like aroma. |
| Palate / Taste | Exceptionally smooth, weightless mouth-feel; hints of sweetened lemon, royal-icing style sweetness; mild vanilla or cream; minimal warmth or burn. Slight woody spice or charcoal undertones may arise in mid-palate. |
| Finish | Quick and clean. Crisp, elegant, refined. Leaves a soft warmth, maybe a trace of fruit or subtle apple/vanilla fade, no harsh bite. |
Exceptional smoothness and purity: The 159-distillation process plus resting yields an unusually clean, refined vodka.
Limited edition & collectible appeal: Very few produced, high-end decanter, elegant packaging – part luxury, part craft pour.
Grain complexity: Using multiple grains adds subtle nuance vs a pure single-grain vodka.
Well-suited to premium experiences: Best enjoyed neat or in minimalist vodka cocktails where purity and texture matter.
Best neat at room temperature or very slightly chilled to appreciate aroma and texture.
Large clean rocks / sphere: one large cube can preserve texture while mellowing any perceptible alcohol warmth.
Minimalist cocktails: e.g. a vodka martini (with high-quality vermouth), or a very clean vodka soda with a twist of lemon peel so that nuances are not masked.
Also works well with very light mixers (e.g. tonic, soda) and citrus garnish to shine the clean nose and palate.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML/700ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
