Review: Driftless Glen Vodka

Driftless Glen Vodka is produced at the Driftless Glen distillery build around the hillsides of the Baraboo valley nestled along the Baraboo river in Baraboo Wisconsin.  Baraboo Wisconsin is located about 50 miles Northwest of Madison Wisconsin, near the Waterpark Capital of the World, The Wisconsin Dells.  The site was selected by husband and wife team Renee and Brian Bemis as much for it’s water supply, as it’s great scenic beauty.  About 10-12,000 years ago a glacier moved its way to what is known as the Driftless area where it stopped and melted off, creating a huge underground aquifer unloading massive amounts of sand and sediment that naturally filters the water making the water some of the purest in the country.  The distillery opened in 2015.  They also produce Bourbon, Rye, Brandy, Moonshine, and Gin.  At launch their vodka was branded with the Sleepover Vodka name.  Driftless Glen Vodka is made from their own blend of corn and sugarcane based spirit.  Both are redistilled in a hybrid pot still made by Artisan Still Design.  That pure water is used to reduce to proof.
