Identifying Features

A large 14 set below a stylized Rocky Mountain landscape. Topped with a white wrap from the cork down the neck of the bottle.

Written on the Bottle

100% neutral spirits distilled from certified organic grain produced exclusively for Altitude Spirits, Inc., Boulder, Colorado. Distilled by Altitude Spirits, Inc., Rigby, Idaho. Certified organic by Oregon Tilth. Produced in the USA.

14ers, the loftiest summits of the Rocky Mountains, rise to altitudes where few ever tread and the snows of winter may never melt. Air is rarefied, sensation intensified. Vodka 14 is produced in the Rocky Mountains from the finest organic ingredients and distilled to be as pristine as these majestic peaks.

Review

I've seen so-called green vodka, and I've had several organic vodkas. Vodka 14 is both organic and green. The grain used is certified organic. The bottle, printing process, and the distillation processes all maximized for recycling of the product and to have minimum impact on the environment. Of all the green and organic vodka makers, the guys at Altitude Spirits, Inc., seem to work the hardest to achieve their environmental goals. What's more, they love vodka, and it shows.

The Shot

The first thing I noticed about Vodka 14 is that it is subtly sweet. There's no other distinctive flavor involved. The taste is completely pure and smooth to drink. It doesn't get much better for a straight vodka.

The Mixed Drink

Vodka 14 mixed very well with a wide range of mixers. While the taste was detectable, it didn't detract at all from the flavor of the drink. Mixed fairly strong, it's still very easy to drink.

Opinions

Erin said it's a good mixer. While she could taste the vodka in the mixer, she said it didn't burn and the smell wasn't harsh.

Unfortunately, I was unable to share this great vodka with more people. As a shooter and in a cocktail, Vodka 14 is a great choice. What makes it better is the knowledge that drinking it is supporting a company that actively tries to minimize it's impact on the environment and doesn't just use it as a marketing tool.

My only regret is that it isn't more widely available. However, you may be able to purchase it online.
