The Humboldt Distillery is located in Humboldt County, California and makes several spirits, including vodka and rum, that appeal to those with a more humble(dt) preference. We tried Humboldt’s Finest vodka as well as the organic small batch vodka they make. Both are excellent. Our preference in sipping is perhaps with the organic small batch, but it’s a close race. For mixers, Humbdoldt’s Finest is a great one.
Humbold Organic Vodka is an organic, small-batch vodka produced from organic sugarcane, with no Glycerin, Sweeteners Or Other Additives and is also Non-GMO And Gluten-Free.
These are smooth, easy vodkas with a tasteful feel that isn’t overwhelming or biting. Like any good vodka, these from Humboldt roll across the tongue and to the throat with just enough bite to remain palatable without a throat burn. Even straight, neat, and at room temperature, the Humboldt vodkas are lovely for sipping. Things get better with some ice, mixing ingredients, or a strong chill, of course.

On the other hand, Humboldt's Finest is a little departure from the ordinary since it is vodka that undeniably reflects the spirit of "True California". While the botanicals used for infusion won't get you high, it does add a slight gin-like feel. Humboldt's finest is Infused With Locally Grown Hemp, THC-Free and CBD-Free, with aromatic terpenes provide a distinctive fresh herbal character.
With either bottle, things will definitely go well. For instance, we could do a great a quarantini mix (vodka mixed with Emergen-C) because it’s almost a requirement given the times.

Of course, with vodka on hand, one has to get out the copper mugs and make some mules. Any favorite mule recipe will work and we found that Humboldt’s Finest is a great choice for these. With a good ginger beer, a piece or two of dried ginger on a stick to submerge, and some friends and it makes for a lovely evening. Even if it’s just on Zoom.
We’ve become fans of this vodka and are looking forward to trying other bottled goodness from Humboldt. This is a wonderful hometown-style distillery that offers vodkas and rums to satisfy every glass. Check them out at HumboldtDistillery.com.
