CHARBAY CALIFORNIA, EUREKA Handcrafted by Marko Karakasevic, 13th generation Master Distiller. Making flavored vodka with the whole fruit wasn’t how it was done. Well, not until Marko made it happen in 1997. Being unimpressed with the flavored vodka brands available, he ventured to create an American vodka where the flavor would come from the whole fruit. All 100% of it. Distiller of the Year WE Wine Star Award ‘19 Charbay Clear Vodka 80PF / 750ML

Distilled once according to Marko’s specific instructions, this 100% grain vodka blends Midwest corn and rye with Northern Californian water, remaining unfiltered to maintain its silky, full-bodied texture. 96-100pts Wine Enthusiast Charbay Meyer Lemon Vodka 80PF / 750ML Launched in 1998 as the first 100% fresh fruit flavored vodka in the US, Charbay Meyer Lemon is crafted once a year. We use organic, tree-ripened lemons from Lemon Cove, CA, processed within 24 hours of harvest. This meticulous 6-month extraction uses the whole fruit to capture authentic flavor. Charbay Blood Orange Vodka 80PF / 750ML

Sourced from Lemon Cove, CA, these organic blood oranges are picked ripe and processed at Charbay distillery within 24 hours. Using 100% whole fruit, the extraction takes six months—including 90 days dedicated to capturing the zest and flavor. Charbay Green Tea Vodka 70PF / 750ML Launched in 2004, this first-of-its-kind vodka is the result of three years of research by 12th-generation Master Distiller Miles Karakasevic. It features four varieties of rare, first-growth green teas hand-picked in China’s Anhwei Province. Using 100% real whole-leaf tea, the six-month extraction process takes 120 days to capture a smooth, low-tannin flavor with fresh aromatics. 90-95pts Superb Wine Enthusiast CLEAR CREEK DISTILLERY USA, OREGON Clear Creek Distillery has been crafting “orchard-to-glass” spirits in the Pacific Northwest since 1985. By distilling local fruit in traditional copper pot stills, they capture the pure essence of the region. Clear Creek Apple Vodka 80PF / 750ML Clear Creek Vodka is 100 percent fruit-based — fermented and distilled from apples grown in the Pacific Northwest — and cut to 80 proof with glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood, Oregon’s highest peak. Clear Creek Vodka is not flavored but offers the perfect combination of minerality and brightness accented with mild notes of crushed apple blossom.
