I want to thank BDanner for telling me about this outstanding and unique Vodka from North Carolina. I picked up a bottle on my last trip to NC and was blown away with this stuff. The bottle is cool and dark with lots of white writing on it. Now the vodka inside is made from rice and that gives it a sweet nose similar to SoJu which is a distilled rice beverage from Korea. This stuff does not burn you at all chilled or at room temperature it is smooth and sweet. With ice, it is great and in mixed drinks, you just need to watch the sweetness as it can be too sweet. Vodka Martinis are very nice and I have made them with Dolins and Martini and Rossi and the drinks went down very nicely. The only negative I have to say is that they have a small distribution area at this time but they are growing. This is an excellent vodka and I like supporting small distillers that make great products so this is an easy recommendation. Enjoy!

It's great to see another vodka trying something other than generic "grain". I enjoy Ocean (made from sugar cane) and I saw an agave vodka somewhere too. This sounds worth checking out :)
You are right about this stuff it is very different and very good. I used Grapefruit bitters in the Martini to balance out the sweetness.
Glad you liked it! ...and you have encouraged me to try it in a Martini. Due to its sweeter character, I haven't ventured there. I don know it's great for infusions. Fresh Cherries, Fresh Pineapple, Jalapeño/Cucumber have all turned out great and make awesome birthday/holiday/thank you gifts, especially in the cool bottle.
