In an exclusive interview with Prairie Organic Spirits, we delved into the world of organic spirits to uncover the unique qualities that set them apart from conventional options. Rooted in a passion for quality, sustainability, and a dedication to crafting an unparalleled drinking experience, the company stands as a testament to thoughtful craftsmanship in the spirits industry.
When asked about what makes Prairie Organic Spirits stand out, their team explained, “We believe that all the little things that go into making Prairie Organic Spirits add up to a big impact, both in the quality of the spirits and the stewardship of the earth’s resources.” This commitment becomes evident when examining their production process and the careful attention given to each aspect.
At the core of Prairie Organic Spirits is organic #2 yellow corn, a Midwest gem that combines seamlessly with purified Minnesota water, resulting in a smoother, cleaner drinking experience. What truly distinguishes Prairie Organic’s approach is their commitment to small-batch distillation. Unlike relying on a predetermined number of distillation rounds, they aim for perfection by distilling each batch until it meets the exacting standards set by their expert taste testers.
Our conversation with Prairie Organic Spirits revealed their unwavering dedication to sustainability, which echoes throughout their production process:
- Organically Grown Corn: The use of organically grown #2 Yellow corn ensures quality and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
- Local Sourcing: By sourcing their corn from a cooperative of Midwest family farms, Prairie Organic Spirits reduces environmental impact and supports local communities.
- Certified Organic: Prairie Organic is certified organic, adhering to stringent federal guidelines that prohibit herbicides and pesticides. This commitment includes a transition period to eliminate these substances from the soil.
- Pollinator Habitat: Thoughtful planting of hedgerows contributes to pollinator habitat and safeguards crops from nearby pesticide drift.
- Renewable Energy: The brand actively utilizes renewable energy credits to bolster their production process.
But the true essence of Prairie Organic’s philosophy can be found in their carefully crafted spirits:
- Prairie Organic Vodka: With delicate notes of melon and pear on the nose, a creamy mouthfeel, and a bright, smooth finish, Prairie Organic Vodka is a versatile companion for cocktails, from classic martinis to casual vodka sodas.
- Prairie Organic Gin: A complex blend of nearly a dozen botanicals lends this gin a nuanced profile that includes sage, juniper, coriander, and lemon, culminating in a smooth finish.
- Prairie Cucumber Flavored Organic Vodka: Infused with the refreshing essence of cucumber, this variant elevates cocktails with a touch of garden-fresh vibrancy.
