Watershed Distillery Vodka

Detailed Description

Watershed Distillery Vodka is crafted exclusively from locally grown corn, which is milled and and mashed before being fermented at the distillery. “Using corn allows a very subtle sweetness to the vodka, but the main attribute is its sheer purity,” says Lehman. Following fermentation, the vodka is distilled four separate times, giving the spirit a light body and silky smooth finish.

Distillery Information

Watershed Distillery is a microdistillery in Columbus, Ohio founded in 2010 by business partners Greg Lehman and Dave Rigo. The distillery was the second distillery opened in Central Ohio after prohibition, and Watershed brought to market the first legally distilled bourbon whiskey in Central Ohio post-prohibition in 2012. The distillery offers tours to the public and was the first distillery in Ohio to open a restaurant on-site in February 2017, following the passage of Ohio House Bill 351 in 2016. The distillery offers six spirits: vodka, two types of American style gin, bourbon, nocino and a bottled Old Fashioned cocktail.
