Gruven Potato Vodka
Gruven Potato Vodka is a 750mL bottle of Polish potato vodka bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Handcrafted in traditional pot stills from the finest potatoes and crystal-clear spring water, it is quadruple-distilled and put through a multi-step filtration process for an exceptional level of smoothness. Potato vodkas are known for a richer, creamier texture than their grain cousins — and this one delivers it at a price that makes it an everyday pour. Order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Why Potato Vodka Deserves a Second Look
Potato vodkas have a reputation problem they don't deserve: single-distilled ones can run funky on the nose, but four distillations and careful filtration change the equation entirely. Gruven takes the classic Polish approach — potatoes and spring water, pot stills, patience — and the result is clean and crisp with the creamy, weighty mouthfeel that only potatoes give. Against the grain-based vodkas on the shelf, this one stands out on texture alone. It's distributed in the US by Pacific Edge Wine & Spirits.
Tasting Notes
Clean on the nose with a faint earthy sweetness underneath. The palate is where the potato shows: rounded, creamy, and smooth, with a soft mineral edge from the spring water and a long, gentle finish. Served ice-cold on the rocks, it's silky enough to sip — a quality most grain vodkas at this price can't claim.
How to Enjoy
Start with it on the rocks to feel the texture, then move it into cocktails where body matters: a vodka gimlet, a creamy White Russian, or a martini with an olive brine that loves the extra weight. It also makes an excellent freezer vodka for straight sipping. If you prefer the crisper style, its grain-based sibling Gruven Handcrafted Vodka is the one to try next.
