Industry Standard Vodka

Detailed Description

While ICD’s still is beautiful, it doesn’t give the team enough control over the final product. That’s why, after distilling the wash in the steam-powered still, the team runs the distillate through a high separation fractional distillation column, which allows them to separate the vodka into 40 unique chemical components and selectively remove or include them, one by one. After spending months experimenting with recipes using these components, the team settled on about 20 separate components in order to create Industry Standard Vodka.

Distillery Information

Situated a few floors above a cobblestone road, Industry City Distillery marries modern chemistry and engineering with the traditional art of craft distillation. The distillery is run by five bearded men, each in their early 30’s: Dave, a printmaking biological engineer and science nerd; Zac, a machinist with a bent for sculpture; Rich, a code-wrangling graphic designer and fabricator; Peter, a yoga instructor turned business manager; and Max, a hard-drinking commercial salmon fisherman.
