Rye is a challenging grain for breadmakers as well as vodka producers because of its dense fiber structure. Nevertheless, vodka lovers favor it for its nutty, complex flavor profile as compared to corn, wheat and other grains.
Our certified organic rye receives only chemical-free compost, fresh water, and loving care during its entire growth cycle.The natural, robust health of the plants themselves is their main defense against disease and infestation.
We then take our organic philosophy right into the distillery, using only organic yeasts and natural nutrients in a process certified both by Oregon Tilth, the U.S.'s most stringent and prestigious U.S. Organic Certification Agency, and by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP). The only other ingredient is pure, fresh water from the pristine watershed of the nearby Teton Mountains.
The result? Square One vodka drinkers taste the true flavor of sweet rye grown in the rolling plains of North Dakota, one of its most favorable locations on earth. Square One brings rye’s rich and savory quality to the table in liquid form as never before, giving bar chefs a great new way to explore and express their artistry.
