Finished Product - Rehorst Vodka & Gin
Great Lakes Distillery is a small-batch distillery located in Milwaukee Wisconsin. They hand-craft award winning distilled spirits in limited quantities using old world methods and traditions which they believe result in a superior product.
The fifth annual DOORS OPEN MILWAUKEE event opens the doors to over 150 wonderful buildings free-of-charge to the public –buildings that hold hidden treasures and special stories – from churches to office buildings, theaters to work sites, museums to hotels, clubs to universities; all sites of historic, architectural, cultural, or commercial interest.

Notes: This is one a the very few (read damn few) vodkas that is actually produced by a small distiller. Not bought in bulk (by the tank truck or railroad tank car) and relabeled like a lot of vodka these days or redistilled (rectified) then bottled by by someone trying to look like a small distiller.
These people buy local Wisconsin wheat that they hand-inspect, do their own mashing (preparing and fermenting the grain) then distill the resulting product in small copper pot stills rather than the industry standard column stills. This is a insanely labor and cost-intensive process. Unlike most vodka producers, they buy their grain and ferment it themselves in small batches,distill it and bottle it so that it ensures quality and consistency from the grain to the bottling. Most of the other vodkas (in Russia and America) buy bulk ethanol, tweak it, and add water.
