Florida Vodka

Our Florida Vodka is made with 100% north Florida Red Soft Winter Wheat. We crack the wheat open and gently cook it to release the sugars. Next, we remove the grains in our lauter tun and ferment only the liquid, which keeps the spirit clean and precise. We then distill this vodka a minimum of four times in our copper pot still, creating a smooth spirit that still retains a sense of its agricultural origin. This expression took a Gold Medal for Best Domestic Vodka — the only Florida Vodka to win at that level.

How We Make It

Vodka is often associated with neutrality. However, grain choice and fermentation still shape its character. In this case, wheat provides a soft structure and subtle weight without pushing the spirit toward sweetness. As a result, this vodka works well both on its own and as a base for simple, spirit-forward cocktails.

Unlike corn-based vodkas, which tend toward a rounder, slightly sweeter profile, wheat produces a cleaner, more precise finish. For a closer look at how vodka production works, see our guide to vodka. Furthermore, our grain-to-glass distillation guide explains how we handle wheat from the field to the bottle at Timber Creek Distillery.

Our Production Standards

A Florida Vodka should represent the best that Florida has to offer. Consequently, every batch at Timber Creek must meet the following standards:

• Distilled from 100% local Florida grains
• Uses only Florida limestone spring water
• Filtered with natural charcoal
• Rests for a minimum of 6 months before bottling

Together, these requirements focus less on stripping flavor entirely and more on preserving a clean expression of Florida-grown grain and water. The result is a spirit that feels polished and smooth while still reflecting its agricultural origin.

If you’d like to taste this vodka where we make it, you can book a tasting experience at the distillery, where the full grain-to-glass workflow is explained on site. Similarly, our corn-based 30A Vodka, Destin Vodka, and Pensacola Vodka offer a different grain expression for comparison.
