Distiller Notes
Cardinal Spirits Pride Vodka is just like their regular vodka, only more fabulous. This is not your average tasteless, odorless vodka. It has character by design. A very light entry, a full rich body, and a bright floral finish. Cardinal Spirits distills to 190.5 degrees proof rather than blowing all of the flavor out at 192, leaving some of the grape aroma and flavor in the spirit before its final charcoal filtering.
It's some of the best vodka around, and many people have told Cardinal Spirits it's the only vodka they'll drink straight.
Cardinal Spirits donates 10 percent of the proceeds to an LGBTQ organization in each local region it is being sold, so that money can continue to celebrate, educate and strengthen our community in countless ways.

Wine Enthusiast
Wine-lovers will approve: this vodka is made from white grapes that are fermented in Italian wine tanks and then distilled. The result is an enticing cocoa character on the nose and creamy palate, along with subtle vanilla braced with alcohol heat on the nutmeg-accented finish. Overall it's a versatile, mixable vodka.
Made from the distillation of anything containing fermentable sugars, Straight Vodka is a clear and unaged spirit. Cereal grains like wheat, rye and barley are the most commonly used bases, but modern Vodkas are now made from crops as diverse as sugar beets, grapes and potatoes. Ideally Straight Vodkas should be colorless, odorless and flavorless. They are sipped chilled and neat, or used as a base for a variety of cocktails, from the Martini to the Cosmopolitan.
