Review: American Plains Vodka
American Plains Vodka is made in Princeton Minnesota with 100% American grown corn and water extracted from a crystal clear aquifer. The vodka is distilled 5 times and charcoal filtered. I picked this up at Total Wine and More where they have dozens of spirit brands I have never heard of before. American Plains Vodka is one of several that are distilled in Princeton Minnesota. What made American Plains stand out from the other brands on the stores shelf was the staff recommendation, and the 93 it had scored from the Beverage Testing Institute. I have sampled several vodkas made from 100% corn that were distilled in Princeton Minnesota. Let’s see if this one stands out. Read more
