The Vodka a Farm Built
Corbin Cash's distilling story begins with vodka: since 2010 the Souza family has been turning their own sweet potatoes into spirits on their fourth-generation farm — reportedly the first sweet potato vodka at its launch. Ten pounds of sweet potatoes go into every bottle: cured for 12 to 16 months after harvest, fermented for five days, then distilled in a Holstein copper pot/column hybrid still up to 190 proof before slow carbon filtration and bottling at 80 proof. Founder David Souza describes an earthy, nutty spirit with almond undertones and a silky texture — "no bite," he says, "almost like wine." Independent reviewer Drinkhacker scored it A− (9.0/10), finding a creamy palate of brown sugar, baking spice, and citrus with a long, warming, sweet finish.

Tasting Notes
The distillery promises a creamy mouthfeel and medium body with nutty caramel undertones and a hint of sweetness on a smooth finish. Souza himself adds earthy, nutty character with almond undertones and a silky, bite-free texture. Drinkhacker's independent take: a neutral nose with brown butter and gooseberry hints, a creamy palate of brown sugar and baking spice with citrus lift, and a long, warming, sweet finish.
How to Enjoy
Chilled and neat, or over a single cube — this vodka has enough character to stand alone. Its creamy body makes an exceptional vodka martini or a Moscow mule; try it in any cocktail where a neutral vodka would disappear but character is welcome. Pair with caviar, smoked salmon, or oysters.
