Red River Brewery Wins Best Craft Vodka Award


According to a press release, the Red River Brewery & Distillery has earned a spot on the USA TODAY “10 Best” list for best craft vodkas in the country for the third consecutive year, as voted by the readers of USA TODAY and 10Best.com. This is a highly competitive award.


The star of the show, known as the Silver King Vodka, is described as a smooth, refined, and exceptionally clean distilled spirit made with pristine snowmelt water from the mountains of Red River, New Mexico, and distilled at one of the highest elevation distilleries in the world.


This vodka has won 14 prestigious national awards, including a double-gold medal and a best of class award from the American Distilling Institute.


“Our pristine water and relatively low-temperature distillation made possible at this elevation gives Silver King Vodka its smooth and subtle flavor profile,” explains Head Distiller Gavin Whealy. “I’m proud of what we’ve done with Silver King Vodka.” “Wow—three years in a row!” exclaims Michael Calhoun, owner of Red River Brewery & Distillery. “We are honored and humbled by the continued support and recognition from our fans and customers. We’re passionate about crafting high-quality spirits and deeply grateful for the award.”


Silver King Vodka, along with other Red River Brewery & Distillery products, is available at over 320 liquor stores and is distributed through Southern Glazer’s in New Mexico and Green Light Distribution in Texas.
