Organic Locally Distilled Vodka
A growing number of spirits producers are turning to organic ingredients and eco-friendly production methods. The organic designation refers to agricultural products that are grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or GMOs. This translates to better flavor profiles and less environmental impact.
The USDA recently enacted enhanced traceability and fraud protection measures that will help boost consumer confidence in organic spirits. These new requirements, which apply to both certified and non-certified products, encourage manufacturers to follow stricter production standards.
For example, Crop Organic Artisanal Vodka is a USDA-certified organic spirit that’s made using organic American rye and pure H2O. This vodka’s clean, crisp taste and versatility make it ideal for sipping or mixing into cocktails.
Similarly, Hanson of Sonoma Vodka is USDA-certified organic and made from premium grapes from family-owned vineyards in Sonoma County. These grapes are grown using sustainable farming practices that promote soil health and ecological balance, which ultimately translates to a superior tasting vodka with fruity notes and velvety finish.
Another standout is Ocean Organic Vodka, which is distilled from organic sugar cane and blended with deep ocean mineral water that’s collected 3,000 feet below the surface of Hawaii’s Kona coast. This eco-friendly and gluten-free spirit is ideal for enjoying on the rocks or mixed into a refreshing cocktail.
