The Same Platform, Twenty Proof Higher
New Amsterdam built its name on a simple production platform — quality grain spirit, five distillations, three filtrations, a soft finish — and the 100 Proof pours that same spirit at full strength for cocktails where an 80-proof vodka gets lost. Producer copy for this bottling specifies corn as the base, and its tasting line runs sweeter and warmer than the original's neutral profile.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet frosting and light citrus, per the producer's copy. Palate: Smooth corn-spirit body at full proof. Finish: Clean and soft, per the producer — the triple filtration keeps the 100-proof warmth tidy.
How to Enjoy
Reach for it in long, diluted drinks — Mules, highballs, punches and espresso martinis — where the extra proof keeps the vodka present after ice and mixers. It also stands up in a freezer-cold Martini for drinkers who like real weight.
