Bakon Vodka is a superior quality potato vodka with a savory bacon flavor. It’s clean, crisp, and delicious. This is the only vodka you’ll ever want to use to make a Bloody Mary, and it's a complementary element of both sweet and savory drinks.

Bakon Vodka is also a great Bar-B-Q companion. Use it in a marinade or sip it chilled with a steak. Check out our recipes section for more ideas.

The Meat and Potatoes… Premium quality, no joke.
We start with superior quality Idaho potatoes instead of the random mixed grains that make up most vodkas. Our vodka is column-distilled using a single heating process that doesn’t “bruise” the alcohol like the multiple heating cycles needed to make a typical pot-still vodka.

No tinge or burn on the tongue, no obnoxious smoky or chemical flavors, just a clean refreshing potato vodka with delicious savory bacon flavor.

Pure. Refreshing. Bacon.

Discover why Belvedere® is celebrated by discriminating enthusiasts worldwide. Belvedere's taste profile features a subtle sweetness and smooth, clean finish that only comes from using 100% Datkowskie Gold Rye as the single-grain ingredient.

Belvedere Vodka hails from the small town of Zyrardów in the Mazovian plains west of Warsaw, Poland. Following traditions dating back over 600 years, Belvedere is handcrafted in small batches to ensure superior quality meeting only the highest of standards.

Belvedere is distilled four times, the optimum number for enhancing its unique, subtle character. If a taste sampling shows even a hint of imbalance, the entire batch is destroyed.

First introduced to North America in 1996, Belvedere single-handedly created the luxury vodka segment (now the fastest-growing category in distilled spirits). Seven years later, Belvedere's high character and uncompromising integrity are recognized internationally. Consumer demand continues to increase at an accelerated pace, and worldwide recognition of the brand is at an all-time high.

As Poland is widely recognized as the birthplace of vodka, it is fitting that Belvedere is named after the Belvedere Palace, formerly home to Polish royalty and presidents. Today, Belvedere Vodka offers a luxury experience to a broad international audience of vodka enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

It's described as having notes more often associated with whisky such or cognac such as "crème caramel, dark savoury spice, and rich bitter chocolate." It is double filtered through charcoal which gives it the increased alchohol content and it comes in black bottle with silver trees that looks like a negative of the original bottle.

Blavod is distilled in the UK by Haymans Ltd., under the direction of fourth-generation Master Distiller Christopher Hayman. Blavod is triple-distilled, double-filtered, and made from pure ingredients. Now, from the land of Big Ben and the Beatles, comes Blavod, for those who dare to drink different.

The colour of the vodka is changed by adding catechu, a herb found in southern Asia and central and east Africa.. Rich in tannin, catechu has no effect on vodka's flavour. However, many say it makes the vodka a little smoother.

Distilled exclusively from the fine French grapes, Cîroc is vodka of the highest order. At the heart of this unique vodka are carefully selected grapes grown high in the Gaillac region of France. Cîroc is distilled five times to produce exquisitely smooth vodka.

Unlike any other vodka on the market, Cîroc is made using fine French grapes. Most other vodkas are produced from common starches such as wheat or potatoes.

The grapes in Cîroc are hand-selected, from bunches left on the vine for an extended period of ripening.

The juice pressed from Cîroc grapes is cold fermented. Never before has cold-fermentation been used in the making of a luxury vodka.

Cîroc is five-times distilled to create a uniquely crisp, clean, smooth taste experience.

Cold River Vodka is a 100 percent Maine potato vodka, which turned an economical crop into a top-shelf-spirit - and added value to Maine's potatoes and reputation for high-quality goods in the process. A super-premium, martini-quality, gluten-free spirit, our Classic Vodka is distinctive among the world's most sophisticated spirits.

Cold River Vodka is The Spirit of Maine… and it embodies that spirit perfectly. It’s authentic. It’s complex but not complicated. Each bottle of our vodka is numbered by hand to reflect its batch and ensure its exceptionality and excellence.

Our vodka’s water is sourced from the Cold River Aquifer. Maine’s Cold River flows out of Evans Notch and meanders its way through the former potato fields of forested Fryeburg, and filters through miles of underground granite into the Cold River Aquifer, home of some of earth’s purest and most refreshing water.

Our potatoes are grown from seed to spud at our own family-owned Green Thumb Farms in Fryeburg, Maine. At Maine Distilleries, from the potato farmer to the distiller, there is a passion for Maine and its roots (literally) that will be infused into every bottle of our clear, distinctive vodka.

Cold River Vodka has earned its fair share of awards and accolades: In September 2007, earned a Five-Star Premium Recommendation from Spirits Journal. In 2008, our Classic Vodka was named to Wine Enthusiast’s prestigious list of “Top 50 Spirits,” and earned the magazine’s sole “Classic (96-100) / Highest Recommendation” rating for 2008. We went on to earn a Double Gold at San Francisco’s 2008 World Spirits Competition, and our vodka was featured as “The Best American Vodka” in spirits expert F. Paul Pacult’s Kindred Spirits 2.

Attention to detail makes all the difference - from the planting of the first potato seeds in Fryeburg, to our triple-distillation process in our copper pot still in Freeport, to taking the first celebratory sip of our first Classic Vodka batch in November of 2005.

Often mistakenly called flavorless, great vodkas are as diverse as they are subtle and complex. The secret to understanding vodka is to be aware of its feel and texture, as well as the taste.

Most ultra-premium vodkas are filtered three to five times. Crater Lake Vodka is slowly filtered 10 times through charcoal and crushed volcanic rock and then aged briefly in oak. This technique is long and painstaking but makes Crater Lake Vodka one of the smoothest vodkas in the world with it a soft, spring water feel that hints slightly of vanilla.

Cocktail Suggestions
Crater Lake Vodka is an excellent selection for any cocktail that calls for ultra-premium vodka. Real vodka connoisseurs though will most appreciate Crater Lake in a classic dry vodka martini.

Thousands of years ago, thirteen crystal heads were scattered across the earth - and they are greater and more powerful than anything we have the ability to manufacture today. Their workmanship is perfect: they contain no tool marks and have been cut against the natural axis of the crystal, defying the laws of physics. Some say they are artifacts from the lost civilization of Atlantis, some say they date back to the Mayans, still others say they were created by a higher intelligence.

Brought together, the Crystal Heads are said to contain vast knowledge and enlightenment capable of unlocking our most enigmatic ancient mysteries. Alone, each is believed to house radiant psychic energy, which has magical powers and healing properties.

FLAMING MARTYR
1 1/4 oz. Crystal Head Vodka
2 ea. Orange Half Moon Slices cut into 3

De-vo-tion Pronunciation [di-voh-shuhn] noun: Commitment Dedication and Determination.

Created in San Francisco, the birthplace of the original martini, Devotion Spirits has unleashed the ground-breaking power of the first-ever 80-proof, triple distilled vodka infused with Casein. Whether enjoyed on the rocks, mixed, stirred or shaken, Devotion provides for the smooth, delicious ultra-premium vodka taste that the discerning mixologist are seeking.

The patent pending proprietary solution found only in Devotion is transforming the cocktail. While bar shelves are cluttered with vodkas from around the globe in every imaginable flavor, Devotion is the first and only vodka using casein to smooth out the vodka and give it it’s distinct chardonnay like finish.

Created and developed by company President and New Jersey native Drew Adelman, a night-life, dining aficionado and fitness buff, Devotion was inspired by his search to combine his two favorite passions: fitness and nightlife. My own personal mantra has always been if you are going to be bad, you might as well be good, notes Adelman. With Devotion I can stay devoted to my regimen, while stepping out for a good time. I used to actually take my own protein out with me when I went for a night on the town. Then I realized there were millions of people like me who wanted to adhere to their lifestyle, and also have a good time, explains Adelman. From that passion, Devotion was born.

We could have sourced our vodka from anywhere in the world. After extensive research, an inside tip sent us to the mountains of Slovakia. There we met Dr. Jan Krak, a true master of the craft of distillation. We fell in love. With Slovakia. With the people. The dramatic landscapes. The history and tradition... and the vodka.

We knew we had to honor this luxurious liquid with a name and bottle that would bow to its rich heritage while remaining grounded in the 21st century.

Double Cross™ called to us. Inspired by the ancient double cross symbol in the Slovak coat of arms, we knew we were on to something when it brought tears to the eyes of our Slovak friends.

From what do we pour this purity? From an award-winning bottle unlike anything in the world. Elegant. Powerful. Graceful. Striking. A sacred vessel.

This is Double Cross™. It’s time to betray the usual.

Notes: This Vodka is microdistilled in small batches from a locally sourced wheat in Washington State. It is both pot, and then column distilled and fresh mountain water is used to cut to 80 proof.

As this is a wheat vodka, my thoughts were this could go either way- many wheat vodkas seem to me to be harsh and smell like rubbing alcohol (not nearly as charming as a rye). Others can be floral, peppery and full of good smell.This vodka was thankfully one of the latter.

Appearance: Crystal clear, no sediment whatsoever or separation. Medium-to-thick body. On swirling, it leaves a thin uniform clear coat on the inside of the glass, then some legs forming followed by tear drops on the swirl line.

First Impression: Clean alcohol notes, cream soda/vanilla bean notes. Traces of mineral, citrus, floral, a little Szechuan pepper perhaps, wheat grain. A touch of rose seems to come from high quality wheat vodkas like this (not sure why?) - it also picks up apple notes after extended aeration.

Taste: Buttery body to it, almost fatty (and I mean that in a good way - it is not some cheap, thin, spirit). Much more vanilla, smooth, charming and the vanilla starts to dry and linger nicely on the tongue while other floral and light citrus aromatics continue.

Clear. Delicate aromas of anise cookie, delicate tarragon, and cream of wheat follow through on a round, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with whipped cream and pewter notes. Finishes with warming peppery talc accented fade.

Effen: 1. smooth, 2. even, 3. balanced

The Effen Vodka taste profile was developed with support from leading bartenders who pour spirits every night. Bartenders, the true drink experts, served on our panel to improve upon a centuries-old Dutch recipe that is perfect on the palate.

The water used in Effen Vodka goes well beyond the standard filtering process. Pure spring water is forced through specifically constructed filters under extremely high pressure. This process ensures that all impurities are removed for the purest water attainable.

At the heart of Effen Vodka is premium wheat from Northern Holland as opposed to corn, rye, grapes, potato or soy grain. Of all grains used to make vodka, wheat contains the purest kind of starch. What's more, it also contains an extremely low level of fat and fatty acid which is yet another reason Effen Vodka is so balanced and silky smooth.

Effen Black Cherry feels good to pour, and tastes great straight or in mixed drinks. The rubber sleeve keeps it cold longer than glass alone, perfect for bottle service, ice-cold martinis and cocktails.
