Launched in 2002, our original Straight vodka was named Vodka of the Year by Paul Pacult's Spirits Journal, Food & Wine Magazine, Wine & Spirits Magazine, and received the “Highest Recommendation” from Wine Enthusiast, a "Sensational” score of 96-100. Since then the brand has only won more praise and accolades, called “delicious”, “silken”, “exceptional” by the New York Times, “ravishing, inexplicable, enticing” and “vivid dream of paradise” by the Los Angeles Times, and “an unusual triumph... a finesse found in no other vodka” by Atlantic Monthly
