Don’t you know that wheat is the way to go?

In the wild and rowdy stockyards of Kansas City's West Bottoms, known as "The Wettest Block in the World," the thirst for spirits was unquenchable, with men from both sides of the state line flocking to the area in search of a stiff drink. And lucky for them, in 1885, a man named Jacob Rieger arrived from Austria-Hungary to the wild west and established J. Rieger & Co. When Jacob's son Alexander took over the family business in 1900, he transformed it into the largest mail-order whiskey business in the US, just in time for Prohibition to spoil the party. Years passed, and the city's "Spirited" history was almost forgotten, until Ryan Maybee, a local bartender, decided to bring it back to life. He joined forces with Andy Rieger, a descendant of the legendary Jacob Rieger, and rounded up some of the biggest names in the industry, including Dave Pickerell, Steve Olson, Tom Nichol, and Nathan Perry.

Potatoes, corn, and rye? Yawn. Rieger & Co. Chiefs Championship Vodka starts out with a premium wheat neutral grain Spirit as the foundation, because wheat is the one that infuses it with that oh-so-pure flavor. They run the Spirit through a 750-gallon copper pot still, which rounds out its texture and amps up its naturally soft, sweet notes, making it the ultimate base for classic cocktails such as the Moscow Mule and Vodka Martini. With 100% wheat in its DNA, this Vodka is smooth, crisp, and clean, with a touch of wheaty sweetness and a bold mouthfeel, thanks to its final refinement in Sherry.

You won't impress the bartender by ordering Vodka-soda, but it's a good choice if you want to avoid unecessary sugar intake and make sure you stay hydrated when consuming alcohol.
It looks like potato chips and flavored Vodka are two things where the producers unleash their imagination. Bubble gum, fresh cut grass, pumpkin pie, marshmallow, and coconut water hardly begin to describe the many flavors of Vodka.
Vodka can be made anywhere in the world and pretty much of any ingredient that contains starch.

For a potato-based Vodka, 12kg (26.5lbs) potatoes are needed to produce a single bottle.
The average life of a $50 bill in circulation is 55 months before it is replaced due to wear.
Seems that Vodka is a lightweight—quite literally. This clear Spirit actually weighs less than water. One liter of water weighs 1,000 grams, while the same amount of Vodka only clocks in at 953 grams.
Unlike its boozy brethren Bourbon and Scotch, Vodka can be made anywhere in the world. But it’s Eastern Europe that gets the credit for its birth. Just don’t ask Russia and Poland to get to the bottom of it—both argue that they masterminded the Spirit first.
