SPIRIT WORKS DISTILLERY USA, CALIFORNIA A true grain-to-glass operation, Spirit Works manages every step in house—from milling and mashing to bottling. Unlike producers who rely on neutral grain spirits, they mill and distill organic California grown Hard Red Winter Wheat as their base. Their whiskeys are aged for at least two years in full-size, 53-gallon barrels, reflecting a passion for local grains and zero shortcuts. Distillery of the Year American Distilling Institute ‘20 Spirit Works Vodka 86PF / 750ML This spirit is the perfect example of the importance of the grain to glass process. By starting with whole grain, they can preserve the distinct wheat characteristics throughout the distillation process. This vodka displays sweet caramel and warm earthy notes – like the grain itself – and provides a round mouthfeel and extremely smooth finish.
