Blue Ice Plain Vodka 750ml
DescriptionBlue Ice Vodka brings the pristine character of America's potato-growing heartland to the ultra-premium vodka category. Handcrafted in Idaho using locally grown potatoes, this expression showcases how American craftsmanship and ideal growing conditions can produce vodka that rivals the world's most celebrated brands while maintaining a distinctly domestic character.
The story begins in Idaho's volcanic soil, where potatoes develop exceptional starch content and purity. Blue Ice uses only the finest potatoes, hand-selected for their quality and character. The choice of potatoes over grain creates a distinctively different vodka – fuller bodied, naturally gluten-free, and with a creamy texture that grain-based vodkas struggle to achieve. It's a return to vodka's roots, executed with modern precision.
The distillation process employs a unique four-column continuous still system combined with five-stage filtration. This extensive process removes impurities while preserving the subtle characteristics that make potato vodka special. The water, sourced from mountain aquifers, undergoes its own rigorous filtration, ensuring that nothing compromises the final product's purity. Every step reflects an obsession with quality over quantity.
Tasting Blue Ice reveals why potato vodka has such devoted followers. The nose is remarkably clean with subtle earthiness that hints at its potato origin. The texture immediately distinguishes itself – creamy, almost oily, coating the palate luxuriously. Flavors are subtle but distinctive: clean, slightly sweet, with hints of vanilla and a mineral note that adds complexity. The finish is exceptionally smooth with no burn, just gentle warmth.
Blue Ice's versatility surprises those expecting potato vodka to be heavy or limited. It creates exceptional martinis where the creamy texture adds body without weight. In Moscow Mules or vodka tonics, it provides a fuller foundation that enhances rather than disappears. Even neat, served well-chilled, it offers a pure expression of American potato vodka at its finest.
Blue Ice proves that American craft distilling can compete on the world stage while maintaining unique regional character. For those seeking vodka with distinctive personality and uncompromising quality, this Idaho original offers a taste of American terroir transformed into liquid luxury.
