Review: High Noon Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
High Noon Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka was just released along with a Lemon and an unflavored vodka. My first thought when I saw this bottle, and read the label that stated it was produced and bottled in Weston Missouri was, did 360 Vodka change it’s name? It is made at the Holladay Distillery operated by McCormick Distilling Company. This is the same distillery that makes the 360 brand of vodka, but High Noon is the newest member in the growing line of spirits under the E&J Gallo umbrella. The others include New Amsterdam Vodka and Gin, Camarena Tequila, Rum Haven Coconut Rum, E&J Brandy, and Shellback Rum. High Noon is currently only available in Denver, Charleston, and Madison Wisconsin. High Noon Ruby Red Grapefruit starts with their unflavored vodka base made from hand selected Midwest corn. Natural flavor including real fruit juice is added. No artificial flavors, preserves or corn syrup are added before bottling at 70 proof. Read more
