Peanut made vodka?!


Question:

Peanut made vodka?

I am looking for a vodka made from peanuts. Please tell me what you know.


Answers:
No such animal.
Peanuts are primarily protein and oil. For making any sort of alcohol, the source material must contain starch or sugar. Starch can be broken down into fermentable sugars using enzymes, but protein doesn't break down to sugar and thus cannot be fermented.
Fermentation is what produces alcohol from the sugars,
Distilled spirits such as vodka are distilled from these fermented liquids (like beer or wine).

If you can't ferment it, it can't be distilled. On the other hand, there may exist a peanut *flavored* vodka somewhere, but I highly doubt it.

o wow. well i would look at a magazine or somthing or google it.

It does not exist. Vodka is mainly made from grain and in rare occasions potatoes.
