Good Grain Vodka

Good Grain Vodka
  • Vodka produced by Modern Ancient in Redwood Valley, California
  • Distilled at an undisclosed distillery in Modesto, California
  • Produced from 100% non-GMO corn including yellow and heirloom white (Mexican June) varieties
  • Open fermented for one week using propriety yeast
  • Distilled in a 16-plate column still
  • Aromas of cacao, clotted cream, fresh corn, and almond precede a texturally rich palate of sweet corn, custard apple, and vanilla with a touch of white pepper on the finish
  • Bottled without additives
  • 50% ABV

A vodka with real personality and character that unabashedly speaks to its unique heirloom corn base, Modern Ancient’s Good Grain Vodka is the antithesis of the industry-standard grain spirit distilled to near neutrality. Well worth sipping neat (When was the last time you tasted a vodka and exclaimed, “That’s awesome!”?), its robust texture and high proof give it the backbone to act as the perfect base in cocktails—from high-acid cocktails like Espresso Martinis, Porn Star Martinis, and Cosmopolitans to classic Martinis and simple highballs.

"This Sonoma-based vodka is produced from non-GMO yellow and heirloom white corn, bottled at a higher proof of 50 percent ABV (pretty much all the other vodkas in our tasting were set at the industry minimum of 40 percent). There's a nice, rounded mouthfeel with a palate that offers a certain nuttiness and sweet, orchard fruit notes."
