About 44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka
Distilled exclusively from Idaho Russet Burbank potatoes, 44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka is the first vodkas ever approved to wear the Idaho Potato Commission's official seal of approval. Once the locally-sourced potatoes are brought to the distillery, Scott mashes and ferments them before distilling the wash through his five-column, multi-plate copper still. The potatoes, which contain unusually high levels of antioxidants and sugars, give the vodka its smooth, silky texture.
In order to produce 44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka, Scott steeps the vodka he distills in natural mountain huckleberries for ten days (huckleberries are Idaho's official state fruit). The huckleberries impart a slightly candied aroma to the vodka, and contribute a blueberry-like, tart sourness to the finish. 44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka earned a score of 90-95 points from
Wine Enthusiast and was named "a perfect sipping vodka when chilled"by
The Luxist.
44° North Mountain Huckleberry has been steeped in cherries and huckleberries, respectively, each vodka is brought to proof with water from the Snake River and then bottled by hand. 44° North Vodka is not only made in Idaho, but also represents the very best of what Idaho agriculture has to offer.
