Review: Hinterhaus North Grove Vodka
Hinterhaus North Grove Vodka was the first spirit released when Nate and Bonnie Randall opened Hinterhaus Distilling Company in Arnold California March 2020. The distillery built at a 4000 foot altitude in the Arnold Plaza Shopping Center, was named in honor of their German family roots, and the “Hinterland” at their doorsteps in the vast Sierra Nevada wilderness. They currently also craft gin, whiskey, bourbon, and rye. Their son Keagan Randall fills four bottles at a time from an automated dispenser then slides the bottles to three other production workers who seal, label, and box the bottles. North Grove Vodka is made from 100% sulfite free big bodied California red wines including Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from local Calaveras County wineries. It is small batch distilled on a custom hybrid pot still with a 20 plate column still and bottled additive free. Read more
