About American Harvest Organic Spirit
Newly introduced and award-winning American Harvest is an American-made, organic vodka to which a proprietary blend of organic ingredients has been added, creating a truly unique vodka specialty. It's a revolutionary way to look at the vodka category and boasts a distinctive, smooth, clean and crisp taste.

American Harvest is handcrafted in small batches from organic winter wheat grown on a family owned and sustainably managed American farm. It is distilled and bottled in Rigby, Idaho using water from aquifers deep beneath the Snake River plain.

American Harvest has been developed with great care for the quality, organic nature and sustainable growing practices of all of its ingredients. It has no artificial additives or preservatives and is produced with a continuous column distillation process and charcoal filtration to ensure the integrity and purity of the spirit. The American Harvest Distillery is independently owned and operated and is USDA Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth.

In addition to being a finalist at the 2013 Ultimate Spirits Competition, American Harvest has already received top honors and accolades such as a gold medal at The 2013 Spirits of the America's Competition, a gold medal from The Beverage Tasting Institute, a double gold medal from The 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and The Tasting Panel Seal of Excellence Award for outstanding quality.
