The organic spirits movement seems to be getting off to a slower start than the organic wine and beer movements. I've never seen somebody pull out a bottle of liquor made from organic materials, but the Green Mountain Distillers out of Stowe, Vermont have been creating quality organic liquors since 2002. They're committed to organic agriculture and creating quality hand-crafted products. They've been certified organic by Vermont Organics as well as the USDA National Organic Program. Currently they distill gin, vodka in many flavors, as well as a delicious maple liqueur made from local Vermont syrup.
Creating hard alcohol for American distilleries uses a whole lot of grain. With all the subsidies, GMOs, and petroleum based fertilizers that go into producing most grains in the United States, we feel it is essential to choose organic grains and grain products such as those that Green Mountain Distillers produces.
