After a year and a half of hard work, Highball Distillery will be introducing Elemental Vodka next week!

I founded Highball Distillery with my partner Michael Heavener. As we discussed what kind of a business we wanted to start we identified a few requirements. We wanted to build a business that purchased raw ingredients and produced a finished product. We wanted to build a company that operated in a responsible way, a business that participated in and supported the local economy. Finally it had to be a business we could be excited about.

We decided to produce an Organic Wheat Vodka. Our Wheat is purchased from local grain miller Bob's Red Mill. Our Vodka is produced using 100% wind energy. We craft our product from scratch.

Every bottle of vodka contains more then 2 lbs of grain. When you purchase a macro-distilled commercial vodka, you are supporting industrial agriculture (ADM, Cargill, etc). Our product provides an option for consumers who demand the highest quality product and want to support business that is striving to find a better way.
