  • What most sets us apart is our complex, award-winning flavor profile. This is accomplished through a combination of our ingredients (certified-organic, locally sourced corn that is subtly and naturally sweet), making our product from scratch (beginning with our corn mash, which is made on-site at our distillery) and only twice-distilling (thereby preserving the beauty and flavor of our natural ingredients).

  • Many vodkas are distilled upwards of five times. This is done for 2 reasons: to filter out impurities and flavors from lower quality ingredients; and/or to create a more neutral spirit. More times distilled isn't "better" - it's simply a matter of preference. Because we strive to maintain as much natural flavor of our ingredients as possible, we say fewer times is better!

  • 88 proof = 44% alcohol

  • Harridan was designed to be tasted. While the Harridan team prefers to enjoy on the rocks with an orange or lemon slice, Harridan is excellent in any spirit-forward cocktail - including martinis and gimlets, as well as pre-Prohibition classics, such as a Last Word. Harridan can also be used in cocktails that may traditionally use gin or whiskey. Its flavor lends itself to versatility.
