Rain Vodka
Rain Vodka is the organic vodka hiding in plain sight at one of bourbon's most famous addresses — an 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka distilled from 100% certified organic white corn at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, in a 750mL bottle. It runs on its own dedicated column still, separate from the whiskey stills, through a roughly 20-day production cycle: seven distillations and a Kentucky limestone-water polishing. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Buffalo Trace's Quiet Vodka
Rain was one of the first certified-organic vodkas on the American market, and its home is part of the story: made at Buffalo Trace on equipment dedicated to the brand, it gets the distillery's limestone-water treatment and a slow, sweet-mash fermentation more typical of fine whiskey. The corn base keeps it feather-light and silky rather than neutral-to-a-fault — a vodka with actual texture.

Tasting Notes
Pear drop and fresh-cut hay on the nose with a light buttery note; the palate is silky and satiny with sweet corn, butterscotch, and a grainy sweetness, finishing with lingering warmth and no burn.
How to Enjoy
Chilled neat to appreciate the texture, or in a vodka soda with lime where the corn sweetness carries the drink.
