Review: Cold River Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

Cold River Vodka was introduced in 2005.  It is crafted along with a Blueberry vodka, a Barrel Aged vodka, and a gin at Maine Distilleries in Freeport Maine.  While many vodkas made from a potato base use potato starch, Cold River Vodka is made from whole Yukon Gold, Russet, and White potatoes grown on the Green Thumb Farm owned by Donnie Thibodeau.  He is one of the distilleries four partners that include his brother, a neurosurgeon at Maine Medical Center.  The whole potatoes arrive at the distillery washed and in 2000 pound bags.  3-4 of these bags are dumped into a 1475 gallon kettle where they are steamed and cooked in filtered water.  The potatoes are then fermented with yeast, before being triple distilled in a 1000 liter copper pot still.  Water from Maine’s Cold River aquifer is filtered and blended with the vodka to reduce to 80 proof.  Cold River Vodka is then bottled onsite.The aroma is vanilla, butterscotch, and cream blended mashed potato, with a sprinkle of black pepper.  The vanilla entry has a soft and creamy mouth feel.  Fresh berry flavor arrives building to a milk chocolate berry peak.  It fades with soft caramel and butterscotch flavor and finishes semidry with southing warmth, a mild sting, charcoal and black pepper flavor, with mineral texture.  This is a very smooth and tasty vodka.  While I almost feel guilty mixing Cold River Vodka, to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day I may serve the following cocktail.
