When the tasting panel first tried what is now Trader Joe's Small Batch Vodka 10X Distilled, we loved it. It is mellow, remarkably clean, crisp and smooth. This vodka is made from corn, so is gluten-free (vegan, too). But what makes it so easy to drink is first the sweet, delicious water, which is sourced from a natural limestone-filtered aquifer 1,300 feet below the distillery. The second is the distillation and filtering. This vodka is produced in small batches that are distilled ten times (yes, 10!) to remove any and all impurities, then charcoal filtered. It is higher proof than most vodkas, at 88 proof. And because we are us, Trader Joe's Small Batch 10X Distilled Vodka is remarkably smooth and easy on your wallet, too. Enjoy chilled or on the rocks, shaken or stirred as part of your favorite cocktail, or simply mixed with a few ounces of club soda and a twist of lemon peel.
