Spring44

Just a few miles north of Denver, Colorado, Jeff Lindauer and Russ Wall are hoisting an , 450-gallon stainless steel water tank into the back of their Ford F-250 pickup truck. The truck, which the pair have nicknamed "Tinkerbell," is used to transport water sourced from Spring44 back to their distillery in Loveland, Colorado. "The first time I knew we really had something really special was when the lab called and asked where I got it," says Lindauer about water sourced from Spring44.In 1969, Don Lindauer Jeffs father purchased a 40-acre parcel of property in Northern Colorado that remains accessible only by navigating a jeep trail. The property, situated 9,000 feet above sea level and completely surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest, is home to Spring44, one of the purest sources of water on Earth.Spring44 water is never touched by chemicals or municipal water treatment plants it comes directly from the ground. The spring isnt even served by an electrical grid the power needed to source the water from the spring is generated entirely from the sun. Naturally filtered by earth, only one billionth of one percent (or 0.000000001 percent) of water in the world meets this strict definition. In addition, the water sourced from the spring is slightly acidic and has a low Total Dissolved Solids ratio, meaning it has virtually no taste except for a touch of sweetness. "Its high-quality water," says Joe Tamurini, a senior engineer at Tetra Tech, a firm that specializes in engineering and consulting services related to water.Together with Jeff McPhie, Lindauer and Wall transport water sourced from Spring44 in Tinkerbell, which is outfitted with special suspension and gears in order in order navigate the jeep trail. At their distillery, the trio ferment a mash of corn, wheat and rye sourced from the Midwest before distilling it five times over in their custom-made, 50-gallon glass still. After distillation, the vodka is infused with raw, natural Colorado honey and brought to proof with water sourced from Spring44. Finally, the vodka is put through a unique, virgin coconut-husk carbon filtration process that removes any impurities.Spring44 is an incredibly smooth and pure vodka. It has hints of vanilla and caramel, and a touch of sweetness as a result of the honey and Spring44 water. "Its a mix of legacy the land of my father and this spring," explains Lindauer. "Were building a truly great American brand. And were doing it authentically." Try an authentic vodka today!

At their distillery, the distillers ferment a mash of grains sourced from the Midwest before distilling the grains with organic juniper berries. After distillation, the gin is distilled a second time with a secret recipe of botanicals, including toasted coriander, lemon grass, orris root, galangal root, fresh grapefruit peel and fresh rosemary. The double distillation process provides for a more pure gin, and also results in stronger bursts of citrus (particularly orange and grapefruit) while restraining some of the flavor of the juniper.Following the second distillation, the gin is aged in toasted American oak barrels for a minimum of two months. This maturation process add notes of butterscotch, popcorn and a hint of smoke to the gin. Once the gin has aged, it is brought to proof with water sourced from Spring44 and sweetened with a touch of organic amber agave nectar. "Its a mix of legacy land of my father and this spring combined with the cause," explains Lindauer. "Were building a truly great American brand. And were doing it authentically."Try an authentic, barrel-aged gin today!
