Elevate Your Buzz with Altius Vodka

We're not sure what it is about high-elevation booze lately, but we've been seeing an influx of liquors from places we usually associate with skiing and riding. First, we found out about Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, then we heard about some cool Idaho vodkas. The latest on the list is another premium spirit from the Rockies, Altius Vodka.

We don't know much about the stuff other than the fact that it's made in small batches, micro-distilled and hand crafted, and it's marketed as a luxury or ultra-premium vodka. In fact, according to the Altius site, "Altius Vodka is made in Colorado, by native Coloradoans, using only water and grain from Colorado. That is Colorado vodka. And
we’re damn proud of it."

That's the kind of product pride and jingoism we like to see from our spirits - plus, a good portion of our editorial staff once lived in Dillon, CO, so we have a bit of interest in Rocky Mountain booze anyway. Learn more about this mile high vodka at the Altius Website, and if you live in CO or in neighboring states, find out where you can pick it up.
