LiV Potato Vodka 80PF / 375ML / 750ML / 1.0L Distilled from 100% locally grown potatoes that are smaller in diameter so there is more skin to fruit contributing to the sweet vanilla flavors and creamy mouth feel.

LiV Espresso Vodka 80PF / 750ML Ristretto means “Restrict” in Italian and for LiV Espres so Vodka this method translates into a concentration of that wonderful more concentrated Espresso flavor slightly sweeter without any of the bitterness. MISGUIDED SPIRITS USA Inspired by the infamous crooks of the NYC law firm, Howe and Hummel. They were lawyers who defended criminals and they were criminals who practiced law. They happily gave a voice to thieves and prostitutes in exchange for the secrets of those in power to extort as they saw fit. Best summed up as a less moral much more misguided version of Robin Hood. Enticing as the untethered promises of a Snake Oil Salesman, yet as smooth and refined as unreformed conmen. Crooked Vodka is as morally bankrupt as the world’s most premium vodka brands at half the price. Misguided Howe & Hummel’s Crooked Vodka 80PF / 750ML / 1.0L Our crystal-clear vodka is 6x distilled, smooth to the tongue with a slight sweetness and a hint of cracked pepper with a light and clean finish that will compliment any cocktail.

FIRST LEGAL POT-STILL DISTILLERY OF BREADWINE The taste of Rodionov’s Polugar is unlike any alcoholic beverage currently produced. The vodka was made from grain and distilled in copper pot stills, rather like single malt whisky, and was called Breadwine or Polugar. What is Polugar? Polugar is a legendary Russian Breadwine that predates modern vodka by centuries.

VERITA ITALY, VENETO Verità is distilled by Distilleria dell’Alpe, which is nestled in the Italian Alps and owned by the Beniamino Maschio family who have generations of experience in distillation of traditional

Polugar is known as the legendary Russian bread wine, the noble father of vodka. Pre-single column still, Russia’s version of vodka was like whisky; the smell and flavor reminiscent of freshly baked bread and was known as bread wine. In 1895 Tsar Alexander III decreed to have all pot stills in Russia broken down. Distillation processes were restricted to government licensed and taxed column stills. Thus established the less nuanced spirit we know as vodka today. The Rodionov family spearheaded a movement to restore the traditional grain spirits. Boris Rodionov, a renowned vodka historian, discovered the original recipe for the national bread wine spirit. With legislation forbidding the Polugar style of grain distillation in Russia, the Rodionov family restored an old distillery tucked away in a forest in Poland. HISTORIC PRODUCTION The Rodionov family meticulously reproduced copper pot stills from 18th century drawings. Each Polugar selection is produced in accordance with authentic recipes of Russian aristocracy in the 1700s. The bottle is designed after Queen Elizabeth’s personal snuff-bottle, circa 1745, that is on exhibit at the Russian National Museum. PO L U G A R, W H AT D O E S I T M E A N? The word Polugar means half-burned. Before the advent of alcohol meters, strength and quality were achieved by boiling two portions of the distillate together into one. The resulting alcohol content was 38.5% alc/vol.
