Teton Glacier Potato Vodka $21.99
"Clear. Very clean aromas suggestive of potato bread, pound cake and sweet cream with a supple satiny medium-full body and a long, elegantly smooth powdered sugar and mineral finish. A delicious, expertly made vodka that will glow in cocktails."
RATING: 93 points (Exceptional)

The Daily Fork - 5 Great American-Made Vodkas
Teton Glacier Vodka is another Idaho potato vodka that is raising eyebrows. Produced in Rigby, Idaho, Teton Glacier is made from russet potatoes that are grown in the area. Master distiller Pat Wernimont takes the modern approach to vodka distilling by using a four-column continuous distillation process, which is believed to raise the proof of the alcohol and remove all impurities from the vodka. This contemporary technique varies greatly from the old-fashioned pot-still process, making for full-bodied yet silky vodka. This incredible smoothness also has something to do with the distillery's unique filtration process: the vodka is filtered through charcoal and garnet crystals. Garnets and potatoes? What do you expect from vodka that's made in the Gem State?

American Sud-nik
Two Ottley-born vodkas, Blue Ice and Teton Glacier, have been rated by the spirit industry's Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago as better than just about any vodka you can think of, including the ones you're probably most familiar with. In late 2003, the institute awarded Teton Glacier 92 points and Blue Ice 93 points, higher than all but a handful of European vodkas.

A Humble Old Label Ices Its Rivals
In our tasting only one brand, Teton Glacier Potato Vodka, was distilled by the producer, which seemed to conform to the government definition of tasteless and odorless. Clean and light on the palate; odorless and tasteless.

Made in the U.S.A.
Although it might run counter to
the spirit of the Olympics, if there is a need for official Winter Games liquor, Teton
Glacier Potato Vodka could fill the bill.
It's made of Idaho potatoes and Rocky Mountain water in a small-batch distillery in Rigby,
Idaho, in clear view of the Tetons. How American can you get?

Don't forget sweets for your sweetie
Try chocolates with a vodka martini
or just a chilled glass of vodka, American-made from Idaho potatoes. Teton Glacier
Potato Vodka fills the bill.
Try this with the vodka: Place the bottle in the freezer for a
few hours or more. The silky liquid becomes lightly syrupy. Chase the vodka with a fine
chocolate truffle. Let it slowly melt in your mouth as it joins the vodka - lovely stuff.

Teton Glacier Vodka is
clean, crisp and smooth, completely free of harshness or bite. Go ahead and mix the other
vodkas at your bar, but save this spirit for your clientele who prefer their vodka served
straight up. They'll appreciate the difference.

Potato state creates world-class vodka
Why shouldn't the state that
turns out the best french fries also make one of the best vodkas?...
Frankly, some of us have difficulty tasting the difference
between a great and not-so great vodka. but the Teton is smooth and soft, with little
after-taste and ample viscosity. Tastes like vodka, not potatoes.
