Vodka is an alcoholic beverage distilled at a high proof from a fermented vegetable or grain mash. Proof is a measurement of the alcohol content. Each degree of proof equals a half percent of alcohol. Thus, 100 proof is that which contains 50% alcohol, 90 proof contains 45%, and so on. Because distilled vodka can have a proof as high as 145, all taste and odor has been eliminated, making vodka a neutral spirit. Water is added to bring the proof down to a range between 80 and 100.

Vodka is a fairly hearty spirit that can be made from lots of things, as long as they contain fermentable carbohydrates. A lot of people think vodkas basically taste alike -- with a bit more smoothness as they get more expensive. Well, they do get smoother with higher quality, but the fact is, there's a wide variety in taste too -- based on the type and quality of the ingredients it's made from. Traditional ingredients include potatoes, rye, wheat, corn, molasses, and barley. Some vodkas are made from a single ingredient, like wheat. Some are made from a mix or blend of ingredients.
Vodka made in the U.S. since 1847. The first vodka introduced to the USA around the turn of the century. Originally made in Latvia then Holland. It has won 37 medals in international competions. Now owned by Jim Beam brands and produced in the U.S.
