Review: Old Fourth Distillery Vodka

Old Fourth Distillery Vodka is made from minimally refined non GMO turbinado cane sugar sourced from a small Louisiana farm.  The distillery was started by Jeff and Craig Moore, two brothers who located the distillery in the fourth ward district of Atlanta.  Turbinado cane sugar was selected because the distillery is located in an urban area, and they were looking for something they could convert to alcohol with zero waste.  The only by-product is pure distilled water.  The distillery was Atlanta’s first legal distillery since 1906, when it opened in 2014, the same year the vodka was released.  Old Fourth Distillery Vodka is distilled three times on a Carl still.  Carl has been building custom stills since 1869 in Stuttgart Germany.  The Old Fourth Distillery also currently produces a gin, straight bourbon whiskey, and Lawn Dart.  Lawn Dart is made from their vodka base and is vapor infused with fresh lemon peel, fresh organic cold-pressed ginger juice and a hint of the same cane used to craft their vodka.

Review: Ocean Vodka

Ocean vodka image - CopyOcean Vodka was originally launched in 2005.  Over the years it has undergone several changes in how it is made.  It is crafted in Maui with organic sugar cane grown on 80 acres on the slopes of Mount Haleakala.  It is blended with deep ocean water which originated as Greenland Glacier melt over 2000 years ago.  After traveling around the globe through deep ocean currents the water is sourced from 3000 feet below the Kona coast off the Big Island of Hawaii.  The water is then organically purified and desalinated through a natural filtration process that filters the sodium but leaves the minerals.  Distillation takes place in columns containing more than 100 plates, each of which is a refining distillation process.  This process separates impurities by precisely controlling heating and cooling of the spirit.  The globe shaped ocean blue colored bottle is made from 100% recycled material.  Ocean utilizes solar panels to power 100% of the operations of the distillery.
