Grand Teton Vodka
Grand Teton Vodka is a craft spirit distilled from Idaho potatoes. Production. Grand Teton Vodka is made from 100% Idaho potatoes and water drawn from the Snake River watershed of the Teton Mountain Range. It is fermented through a proprietary process. Following fermentation, it undergoes a single pass through a pot and column still and then filtered with charcoal and garnet crystal. Production takes place in small batches at Grand Teton Distillery, located in Driggs, Idaho near the water source. History. Lea Beckett formed Grand Teton Vodka, Inc, in Driggs, Idaho to launch Grand Teton Vodka in  August, 2012. John Boczar is the head distiller in charge of all production operations at Grand Teton Distillery. As of early 2013 the vodka had distribution in seven states. Reviews.

Bright aromas and flavors of nougat, custard, and pound cake with a silky, dryish medium body and a super smooth, dried fruit and delicate spice and mineral finish."
