Cold River Vodka
Filed under: Spirits
One of the things the state of
Maine is famous for is potatoes, now some entrepreneurs are turning the potato into vodka. Freeport Maine's Cold River Vodka is created by a neurosurgeon, a former U.S.
ski coach and a potato farmer and it is selling well in its home state according to this article in on Maine Today.
Bob Harkins, the former ski coach knew the brain surgeon, Lee Thibodeau from college and his brother Don owns the
Green Thumb potato farm in Fryeburg, Maine. When Don's potato business was struggling they decided to create the vodka
with the help of Chris Dowe, a professional distiller whose wife is Lee Thibodeau's nurse anesthetist. Potato-based
vodkas often have a bit of an uphill climb with consumers because they have a heartier taste that the smoother
grain-based versions. The company launched last year and plans to create around 7,000 cases a year. There are plans to
make it a regional and then perhaps national brand. Bottles sell for $31.99 each. The design of the bottle seems
similar to Belvedere and other premium vodkas.
