BLUE ICE VODKA HISTORY

Blue Ice Vodka was rated the #1 American vodka in 2003 by the Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago, with 94 points.

America’s finest potato vodka can only come from one place –Idaho– home to the luscious Russet Burbank Potato. Idaho is the true birthplace of Blue Ice Vodka; it is where the people behind the brand come from and live, where the natural ingredients are sourced and where the product is made.

Blue Ice Vodka is made at Distilled Resources, Inc in Rigby, Idaho, the only distiller of potato spirits in the United States. Rigby is in the heartland of Idaho, 200 miles east of Sun Valley; its bountiful, potato farming countryside is surrounded by snow-capped mountains.


Gray Ottley, a long time resident of Sun Valley oversees operations at Distilled Resources, Inc. Master Distiller, Bill Scott, is also a life-long resident of Idaho.  In 2001, Ottley and Scott joined entrepreneur Jim Myerson of Sun Valley to develop Blue Ice Vodka, a product that would reflect the quality and purity of Idaho’s natural resources. A recipe that calls for premium ingredients along with a technologically advanced four column distillation process and five-stage filtration system was created exclusively for Blue Ice Vodka.

Distilled Resources, Inc does not rest on the laurels of tradition or previous generations by relying on antiquated production techniques, typical of most distilleries in the United States and abroad.

Distilled Resources, Inc represents innovation, advanced technology, and the careful science of fermentation and distillation. As a team, Ottley, Scott and Myerson have researched and formulated the most precise method to distill vodka. The result is a consistently, smooth vodka with a subtle flavor and mellowness, that cannot be matched by other products in the market today.
