Vodka lover alert – Here’s a Tried and True Green Product Review of Vodka Fourteen.

We’ve discovered a new libation for warming up these cold, frosty winter nights – Vodka 14.   Altitude Spirits, the family-run distillery of this Boulder, Colorado organic vodka, were gracious enough to submit a sample of this fine liquor to our dedicated panel of tasters and miscreants.  The test results were very positive…with the exception of a couple of overly-enthusiastic product testers who had to shake off teensy hangovers after a raucous night in our lab.

How do they do it?  Hand-selected organic corn and organic rye are blended with water from a 200 foot deep mountain spring and then distilled in Vodka 14′s purity-inducing, four column continuous distillation system.  The result – a zippy, clean-tasting vodka with a robust after-kick.

Once poured, 14 did a great job enhancing a variety of organic mixers, and tastes great both neat and on the rocks.  My personal fave was on the rocks with a twist of orange.

In addition to creating an award-winning, (and USDA-certified organic) vodka, the folks at Vodka Fourteen have packaged their product in a handsome glass bottle with a recyclable synthetic cork closure – avoiding harmful plastic and making the whole package recyclable via most municipal recycling programs.
