Clear Creek Vodka (Hood River Distillers) is the first addition to the distillery’s portfolio in nearly a decade. It’s 100% fruit-based – fermented and distilled from apples grown in the Pacific Northwest – and cut to 80 proof with glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood, Oregon’s highest peak
“The addition of Clear Creek Vodka to our portfolio falls in line with our philosophy of supporting local agriculture and approaching the distilling landscape as evolution and not revolution,” said Jeanine Racht, Development & Marketing Manager, Clear Creek Distillery.
“Consumers are increasingly concerned about where their drinks come from and not just their food,” Racht added. “We use 14 different varietals of non-GMO apples grown in Hood River and Yakima Valley orchards to create a vodka with a sense of place. Nearly 35 years after Clear Creek Distillery first opened its doors, we’ve made our first vodka; one worthy of the Clear Creek name.”
