Review: Old Fourth Distillery Vodka
Old Fourth Distillery Vodka is made from minimally refined non GMO turbinado cane sugar sourced from a small Louisiana farm. The distillery was started by Jeff and Craig Moore, two brothers who located the distillery in the fourth ward district of Atlanta. Turbinado cane sugar was selected because the distillery is located in an urban area, and they were looking for something they could convert to alcohol with zero waste. The only by-product is pure distilled water. The distillery was Atlanta’s first legal distillery since 1906, when it opened in 2014, the same year the vodka was released. Old Fourth Distillery Vodka is distilled three times on a Carl still. Carl has been building custom stills since 1869 in Stuttgart Germany. The Old Fourth Distillery also currently produces a gin, straight bourbon whiskey, and Lawn Dart. Lawn Dart is made from their vodka base and is vapor infused with fresh lemon peel, fresh organic cold-pressed ginger juice and a hint of the same cane used to craft their vodka. Read more
