Review: Cold River Blueberry Vodka

Cold River Blueberry Vodka is crafted at Maine Distilleries in Freeport Maine.  They start with their whole potato vodka base.  Many distilleries use potato starch to create their potato vodka.  The Yukon Gold, Russet, and White Potatoes used are grown at Green Thumb Farms which is owned by Donnie Thibodeau a Founder/Partner of Maine Distilleries.  The potatoes are steamed and cooked in filtered water and fermented with yeast.  A triple distillation in a 1000 liter copper pot still follows.  Wyman Maine blueberries are steeped for days in alcohol.  The alcohol is filtered out before pure filtered water from the Cold River aquifer and 1% sugar are blended with the blueberry and vodka base.  Some flavored vodkas add 12%-14% sugar.  Each bottle is hand filled at 80 proof and numbered.  This is a true ground to glass experience.
