In early 2018, Satellite Spirits co-founders Jonathan Dorfman and Dan Kennerson identified a gap in the locally produced spirit market in their hometown of Grass Valley, Calif. The two friends founded Satellite Spirits and went to work creating South Fork Vodka.
The vodka is an homage to the river and the area where the co-founders grew up. Distilled six times from GMO-free American corn, produced with Sierra Nevada mountain spring water, and refined through a small batch finishing method, South Fork Vodka quickly made a name for itself. In eight months, South Fork Vodka made its way into over 150 retail locations, bars, and restaurants.
South Ford Vodka is currently self-distributed.
