28 Mile Vodka 750ML

The Roaring Smoothness of a Prohibition-Inspired Spirit

Step into a masterclass of midwestern craftsmanship and hidden history with 28 Mile Vodka. The distillery, situated in Highwood, Illinois, draws its name and defiant spirit from a piece of local lore: during Prohibition, the property sat exactly 28 miles north of Chicago. This perfect geographic buffer made it a legendary sanctuary for Chicago's bootleggers and jazz-age renegades seeking to escape the watchful eyes of city enforcement.

While mass-market industrial vodkas are often stripped down to neutral, characterless industrial alcohol that leaves a medicinal burn, 28 Mile Distilling takes a thoroughly chef-driven, small-batch approach. Sourced from choice local grains, this 750ml bottle balances the crisp neutrality expected of a premium vodka with a delicate grain sweetness, custom-engineered for upscale home bars and meticulous cocktail mixology.

The exceptional smoothness of 28 Mile Vodka relies on a thoughtful grain architecture and precise distillation. The liquid engine anchors a unique mash bill of midwestern corn blended with a specialized touch of malted barley, which naturally yields a creamier, softer mouthfeel than a standard wheat or rye base.

The mash is fermented and passed through a custom-built, multi-column distillation process designed to achieve absolute purity while preserving the natural, faint vanilla sugars of the grain. To complete the spirit, the clear distillate is proofed using local water that has been meticulously purified via a multi-stage carbon and reverse osmosis filtration loop. It is bottled at an authentic 40% ABV (80 Proof) within an eye-catching, custom-molded Art Deco bottle.

Taste Profile & Modern Mixology

• The Profile: Completely crystal-clear and transparent in the glass with quick, pristine legs. It commands a highly integrated, medium body on the palate, presenting a soft, coating oiliness that glides across the tongue with zero harsh alcohol sting or medicinal burn.

• Flavor Highlights: An inviting nose opens with clean, faint aromas of sweet cream, subtle vanilla pod, and fresh almond paste, completely free of aggressive ethanol notes. The palate entry is remarkably gentle, introducing a delicate trace of toasted grain sweetness and sweet cream before resolving into a crisp, neutral finish.

• The Finish: Clean, exceptionally short, and satisfyingly refreshing, resolving with a faint mineral snap and a soft, comfortable warmth.

• How to Enjoy: Thanks to its high grain quality and lack of bite, this midwestern spirit shines when served ice-cold. Keep the 750ml bottle in the freezer to pour pristine, velvety chilled shots, or stir it gently over cracked ice for a remarkably smooth standalone pour.

• In Craft Mixology: 28 Mile serves as an elite, high-fidelity canvas for classic and modern vodka cocktails. Shake it vigorously with a touch of dry vermouth and gourmet olives to build an incredibly crisp Classic Vodka Martini, combine it with fresh lime juice and premium ginger beer inside a copper mug for an authentic Moscow Mule, or mix it with fresh tomato juice and savory spices to elevate your Sunday Bloody Mary.
