Cold River Vodka is a triple-distilled, small-batch vodka made in Maine, from Maine potatoes grown in Fryeburg. Maine Distilleries LLC, maker of Cold River Vodka, is the only vodka company in the world to oversee the entire production process, from planting the potatoes to bottling the vodka. Cold River Vodka is produced in small batches hand-numbered to ensure excellence. The vodka is gluten free. It retails for approximately $35 a bottle.
These are not the first rave reviews the spirit has received.
Cold River Vodka was also recently rated the best American vodka in "Kindred Spirits 2" by F. Paul Pacult, director of judging for the World Spirits Competition and considered by many as the one of the industry's leading experts on distilled spirits.
Trade writer, beverage consultant and World Spirits Competition judge Robert Plotkin said, "Each year we evaluate scores of vodkas with scant little difference existing between them. Yet invariably one spirit catches our attention. Perhaps it's the nuances in the bouquet or its extraordinarily elegant finish, but something distinguishes it from the pack. Congratulations to Cold River Vodka on earning a Double Gold Medal. It is well deserved."
