Just a couple of weeks ago I mentioned a new vodka coming out of Wisconsin. It turns out that Wisconsin is quite the hotbed of distilling lately, forget beer, it's all about the vodka now. The Great Lakes Distillery is a small-batch distillery located in Milwaukee Wisconsin. They hand-craft distilled spirits in limited quantities and currently make Rehorst Premium Milwaukee Vodka and Rehorst Premium Milwaukee Gin. The Rehorst vodka, is made from Wisconsin red wheat, along with a special yeast, and filtered Lake Michigan water. The Rehorst gin is made with traditional gin botanicals plus two never found in gin before, sweet basil and Wisconsin ginseng. Both spirits sell for $30.[via Wine Enthusiast]

If you're looking for great vodka or gin, try Crater Lake Vodka or Cascade Mountain Gin made in Bend, Oregon, by Bendistillery. The real stuff! They also make a fabulous Hazelnut-Espresson Vodka and a pepper vodka that makes a bloody mary sing!

I would also suggest trying Martin Miller's Gin. It is a London style gin that is then blended with pure Icelandic glacier water. It is phenomenal!
