Savvy Vodka
SAVVY Vodka is a vodka produced by Savvy Distillers, LP. Founded by Chad Auler, SAVVY Vodka was established in 2006 in Austin, Texas. They specialize in "handcrafted" vodka, produced in a micro-distillery also located in Austin, Texas. Their products are only available in the state of Texas. Process The vodka is distilled from grain grown in Texas, and the quantity produced is limited to only 400 gallons at a time. This is also the basis on which they refer to their product as "handcrafted" due to the reasonably smaller batches produced. They use a 20-foot column still in which their spirits are distilled at least 20 times per batch. This is compared to a traditional pot still which some consider producing a less clean or less pure product. The column still used also allows them to produce their product more efficiently at a fraction of the energy typically used in similar processes. It is estimated to be 200% more efficient than a traditional pot still. In addition to its low ene ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man".

Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its dep ...
