44 North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka

Huckleberry is Idaho's state fruit — a wild mountain berry that refuses to be farmed, picked by hand in the high country every August — and 44 North's Mountain Huckleberry is the vodka Idahoans bring home from the state and Total Wine reviewers call the Cosmopolitan's fun cousin. Named for the latitude that runs through Idaho, the brand launched in 2005 at the Distilled Resources distillery in Rigby, and this expression starts with its flagship potato vodka — 100% Idaho Burbank and Russet potatoes, five-column distilled, blended with Rocky Mountain water from the Snake River Aquifer — infused with a proprietary blend of all-natural Idaho mountain huckleberries and bottled at 35% ABV. Naturally gluten-free, and the first vodka approved to carry the Idaho Potato Commission's seal. Reviewers describe it as exceptional — a delicious, authentic huckleberry taste, smooth, light, and refreshing, with a subtle rather than syrupy fruit note, and many drink it straight over ice. Expect a fragrant nose of wild huckleberry — somewhere between blueberry and blackberry with a tart, wild edge — opening into a soft, creamy palate where the potato base's roundness carries the fruit, finishing clean and gently sweet. Honest note: it's a flavored vodka at 70 proof, and purists should reach for the potato original; the only complaint reviewers register is that it's hard to find outside the Northwest. Built for a Huckleberry Mule, a huckleberry lemonade, a Huckleberry Martini, or with club soda and lime. Idaho summer, in a bottle.
