Review: Dented Brick Craft Vodka
Dented Brick Craft Vodka is made from 100% locally grown corn and artesian well water that flows clean and pure from the Wasatch Mountains. The vodka and distillery are named for the well driller who was killed in a gunfight that left impressions in the bricks of his house. Some of those bricks were used to build the Dented Brick Distillery in South Salt Lake City. Marc Christensen opened the distillery March 2016 with the launch of his first spirit, Antelope Island Rum. Today they craft over a dozen spirits including vodka, gin, rum, and whiskey. Dented Brick Craft Vodka is distilled on a custom Vendome Copper & Brass Works still, then filtered, and bottled onsite. Read more
Review: Roofraiser Vodka
Roofraiser Vodka is one of over a dozen spirits crafted at Dented Brick Distillery in South Salt Lake City Utah. Some of the other spirits include Antelope Island Rum, Jan’s Premium Craft Rum, Great Basin Bristlecone Gin, Hugh Moon Whiskey, and Dented Brick Premium Craft Vodka, Gin, and Rum. The distillery was build on land that was once the farm of Utah’s first distiller of record. Hugh Moon produced whiskey in Salt Lake City for early pioneers starting in the 1850’s. Included in the purchase was a brick home where legend has it, during a gunfight that killed the owner on his front porch, the bullets left dents in the bricks. Those bricks were hand removed and are now part of the newly constructed distillery. Roofraiser vodka takes its name from the fact that the newly constructed distillery was not tall enough to house the 28 foot custom copper still they purchased to craft their spirits. The roof was raised to accommodate the still. Roofraiser is made from 50% organic red winter wheat, 50% pumpernickel rye and snow melt water from Utah’s Wasatch Mountains that flows through the earth into their private well. The grain is all non GMO, and is grown in Utah. Roofraiser Vodka is fermented, small batch distilled, and bottled on site. Read more
