According to Harvest Spirits a premium vodka doesn't have to start with grain or potatoes, and they're proving it by making a fine vodka out of something completely different: apples. Core vodka hails from New York and although it starts out as a simple apple cider it ends up as anything but -- try a triple-distilled 80 proof vodka with a complex and unique flavor profile. The farmers that started Harvest Spirits first had the idea to make a vodka out of apples for several reasons (they're one of the most noble of fruits, they're sometimes called 'the fruit of knowledge,' apple cider used to be the most popular American beverage) but mostly just because they grow so many of them. When life hands you apples, make apple-based premium vodka.

Look for Core vodka for sale in bars, restaurants, and liquor stores in the New York area for around $35/bottle. Also keep your eyes peeled for more goodies from Harvest Spirits in the future, they have their eyes set on a signature gin, brandy, and schnapps.
