An impressive, rich, and delicate Vodka delivered at cocktail strength.
Three Oaks, Michigan is a small town of about fifteen-hundred at the southwestern-most tip of the state. If it were a mile or two further south it would be in Indiana. Journeyman Distillery is located there and bills itself as a working-man’s shop. The building was a buggy whip and corset manufacturer back in the 1800s, and it is this history that influences the names of their twenty-two products — from Featherbone Bourbon to Buggy Whip Wheat and beyond.
Red Arrow Vodka from Journeyman Distillery is distinctive in process and result. They are very proud of the fact that it is one of the few “grain to bottle” Vodkas in the world. That means that they control every step in the process. In fact, the grain silos holding the 100% organic Michigan wheat sits just outside the distillery walls. And that allows them the unique distinction of guaranteeing that Red Arrow Vodka is certified organic, Kosher, and GMO-free. This attention to detail has won them praise from USA Today and others as a Top 10 Best Craft Vodka Distillery. And we love that this delicate and rich Vodka is bottled at 45% ABV, which makes it one of our top domestic Vodka choices for cocktails.
Smartass corner:
Red Arrow Vodka is named after the Red Arrow Highway — a historic roadway that runs along Lake Michigan from New Buffalo to Kalamazoo. The highway was named in honor of the 32nd Infantry Division from Michigan and Wisconsin — the Red Arrow Division — that fought in World War I.
