Timber Creek Distillery’s Florida Vodka is crafted from North Florida red winter wheat, a grain chosen for its soft structure and clean, bread-like character. Red winter wheat produces a gentler spirit than corn, allowing subtle texture and natural sweetness to carry through the distillation process. The result is a delicate vodka with a smooth entry and a refined finish.
On the nose, it offers faint notes reminiscent of fresh dough and light grain. On the palate, it is silky and understated, with a softness that makes it ideal for sipping neat, chilling straight from the freezer, or building balanced cocktails. Rather than aggressive neutrality, this vodka delivers clarity with character—clean, but not empty.
Distilled with precision and bottled to showcase its natural profile, Florida Vodka reflects the grain-to-glass philosophy at Timber Creek. It is straightforward, elegant, and distinctly Floridian.
