In 1911, George Skiff and Andrew Beak founded a 100-acre apple orchard in New Yorks Hudson Valley. At the time, the Hudson Valley, which extends from New York City northward through Albany, was home to thousands of farms, hundreds of which distilled the excess fruits and grains they harvested into spirits. As a result of the onset of Prohibition, however, these farmers were forced to abandon their stills.Today, Marshall Skiff, a third-generation farmer and master distiller, shepherds his family legacy forward at 1911 Spirits.1911 Spirits Small Batch Vodka is distilled exclusively from New York apples grown at the Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards. Once the apples have been harvested, they are pressed into a sweet cider, fermented and then triple distilled through 1911s copper still. "Its our apples, its our cider and its our vodka that comes off that still," says Skiff. "You can turn around and look at those hills and see the apples that made that vodka. Thats pretty unique."As a result, 1911 Vodka has a smooth vanilla taste, with undertones of apple and caramel. The finish is soft and gentle, and lacks the burn typically associated with most vodkas. "This vodka is smooth," says Skiff. "I call it dangerously smooth.""Our spirits have a genuine, natural flavor profile that comes directly from our family farm," says Skiff.

Absolut Distillery was established in 1879 by Lars Olsson Smith. Located in Ahus, Sweden, Absolut vodka is produced from locally grown winter wheat of the Rbelf Estate a family-owned farm that has produced high quality grain since the 1400s.In addition to the winter wheat, the other key ingredient is fresh well water that runs beneath the distillery. The water is added to the ground wheat, along with enzymes that encourage the starches to convert to sugars, and is boiled for three hours before being chilled to 37 degrees and prepared for fermentation.Absolut Elyx get its name from lyx which is Swedish for luxury. Elyx is made manually in small batches from a mashbill of local ingredients, all of which are traceable to within a 15 mile radius of Ahus.Elyx is distilled in a vintage 1921 copper column still which naturally catalyzes trace compounds in the spirit, purifying Elyx and adding to the rich, silky, smooth finish. The entire process of Eylx every handle, knob and lever is adjusted by hand to produce consistent high quality batches.Lined with a copper foil pineapple damask, the Absolut Elyx Pineapple Gift Box includes a 750ml bottle of Absolut Elyx, a copper pineapple serving vessel, and an Elyx cocktail recipes booklet.The nose is sharp with crisp grain notes.

In February 1899, Shinjiro Torii opened a store in Osaka, Japan that traded in imported wines. Within a decade, Torii began producing his own sweet grape wine called Akadama Port Wine, which became wildly popular throughout the country. In 1923, Torri fascinated by whisky his entire life decided to expand his business and began construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Japans first-ever whisky distillery.Although inspired by traditional Scottish distilleries, Torii envisioned a uniquely Japanese approach to whisky and chose a location for his distillery that offered a climate and terrain that were completely different than those of Scotland. Nestled on the periphery of Kyoto, Yamazaki Distillery is situated at the confluence of three rivers (the Katsura, Uji and Kizu) that provide the warm, damp environment ideal for the production and maturation of whisky.Fifty years after the construction of Yamazaki Distillery, Keizo Saji inherited his fathers vision and constructed Suntorys second distillery. Situated amidst the deep forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in Japans southern Alps, the Hakushu Distillery enjoys a unique microclimate as a result of being surrounded by nearly 6,000 varieties of plants and thousand-year-old granite rocks.While Suntory is known throughout the world for its remarkable whisky, the company has recently adopted its signature approach of simplicity, refinement and subtle complexity to an altogether new spirit for the distillery: vodka.Crafted from 100 percent Japanese rice and water sourced from the island of Kyushu, Ao Vodka is distilled in small pot stills and clarified through bamboo filtration. The vodka takes its name from the Japanese word ao, which, although it translates literally to blue, is used to describe the many shades of green in Japanese nature and culture, including the countrys distinct rice paddy landscapes.Ao Vodka has a clean aroma of rice, coconut and sweet mint. The palate has a slight hint of banana leaves, and leads to a smooth, warming finish accented by notes of rice pudding.Ao Vodka earned a Gold Medal at the 2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

In the early 18th century, the rolling hills of Vermonts landscape were dotted with numerous breweries and micro-distilleries. In 1852, however, yielding to the states temperance movement, Vermont banned alcohol and shuttered the states burgeoning craft spirits industry. Though alcohol was legalized again in 1933, Vermonts Prohibition movement cast a long shadow, and distilleries across the state remained dormant for decades.Today, on the banks of the Lamoille River in Hardwick, Vermont (population: 3,174), Caledonia Spirits remains rooted in the traditions of sustainability and Vermonts agriculture.Todd Hardie, Caledonia Spirits founder, spent over four decades as a beekeeper before deciding to incorporate his raw, organic Vermont honey into craft spirits. His first honey house, which required a $1,000 down payment and had a mortgage of $133 per month, was home to 180 colonies. Coincidentally, the land in northern Vermont where he kept his first bee houses straddles the Qubec border, and had been the site of a Prohibition-era speakeasy named Bucket of Blood.Barr Hill Vodka is crafted from raw, organic Vermont honey sourced from one of Hardies now 1,900 colonies. "Honey is incredibly expensive to harvest," Hardie notes, and harder still to ferment. "Even with a Bachelors of Science in agriculture, I didnt know that the way youre taking care of your bees and your people goes into every product every bottle,"he says. "With a strict science background, they dont teach you that, but its true. The consumer will know the difference between a good and a mediocre product."After cold fermenting the honey for approximately three weeks, Hardie, together with Ryan Christiansen, Caledonia Spirits master distiller, distills the wash through a 25-gallon custom-designed fractionating column still. After distillation, each bottle of Barr Hill Vodka is brought to proof and sealed with beeswax (what else did you expect?) cut from a huge hunk of luminous lemon-yellow wax from Singing Cedar Apiaries.Barr Hill Vodka has soft notes of honey and vanilla, with a smooth, clean finish and a unique, crisp texture. "The best fertilizer is always the footprint of a farmer," says Hardie. This vodka has his footprint all over it.Pick up a bottle today!

Around the time 1,000 B.C., Irelands population of 500,000 was ruled by a disparate group of more than 100 regional kings, each with greater or lesser domains.

Located across the Tasman Sea, nine hundred miles east of Australia, New Zealand is comprised of two main islands the North Island and the South Island. New Zealands remote location, sharp mountain peaks and volcanic eruptions made it one of the last places on Earth to be settled by humans. Today, the town of Wanaka, a small lake town in New Zealands Southern Alps, is home to Broken Shed Vodka.The formula for the vodka was originally developed by Mark Simmonds, Steve Turner and Mark OBrien, Broken Sheds founders, in an old, crumbling shed on the banks of Lake Wanaka. Broken Shed Vodka is distilled four times over from 100 percent New Zealand whey. While whey, which is comprised of the excess sugar generated from milk production, isnt commonly used to distill spirits due to its cost, it is rich in protein and lactose, and an excellent, natural source for distillation.After distilling the whey, Broken Sheds distillers bring the vodka to proof using a blend of New Zealand water. After testing water sources from all over the New Zealand archipelago, the distillers settled on a blend of water from two distinct sources: one from Central Otago on the South Island, and the other from East Tamaki on the North Island. The blend of water, which contains a unique mineral composition that marries perfectly with the whey, results in a naturally smooth and well-balanced vodka Broken Shed does not use any softeners, sugars or additives of any kind. After the vodka is brought to proof, it is filtered through a custom-designed charcoal and depth filtration process before being bottled and labeled by hand. "Were proud to have all-New Zealand ingredients, using water from the Southern Alps and the finest grade spirit available anywhere," says OBrien, Broken Sheds master distiller.Broken Shed Vodka was awarded Double Gold at WSWA and a Platinum Medal at the SIP Awards (International Spirits Competition). It is crafted, distilled and bottled in New Zealand. Pick up a Kiwi Vodka today!

Conceived in Latvia, born in Missouri, and raised in New York, Brooklyn Republic Vodka is one of the smoothest vodkas in the world. The brainchild of Latvian expatriate Gary Shokin and his daughter Kary Laskin, Brooklyn Republic Vodka grew out of Shokins hobby of collecting and, of course, sampling vodka from all over the world. "My father has been a connoisseur of vodka all of his adult life and has amassed a collection of hundreds of different vodkas from all over the world," says Laskin. "We know from experience what good vodka is, so it was an easy and passion-fueled decision to start making it."Brooklyn Republic Vodka starts in Missouri, where its distilled from locally grown corn and New York wheat in a unique six-column still. Then, its shipped to Brooklyn where the grain spirits are blended together with Brooklyn tap water the same water that many argue makes Brooklyn pizza and bagels inimitable. "People laugh when we say Brooklyn water, but it really makes a difference," says Laskin.Each batch of Brooklyn Republic Vodka is purified and perfected by cold-filtering it through active carbon at sub-zero temperatures multiple times. After about a week of filtering and testing cycles, the vodka is bottled and corked by hand at Shokins facility near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.With zero additives, Brooklyn Republic Vodka is a pure, well-balanced vodka. The slight sweetness of corn and Brooklyn tap water leaves a medium body with an ultra-smooth finish. Pick up your bottle today!
