[edit] History
Vodka 14 began as an idea between Matthew Barris and Jonathan Weiss. The two NYU graduates decided that Colorado needed a small-batch vodka, similar to the micro-brewed beers popular in the state. As a result, Matthew and his father Mitch started Altitude Spirits and began producing Vodka 14. [3] The Vodka is currently available throughout Colorado and online.
[edit] Colorado
Since Vodka 14 is a small batch vodka from Colorado, much of the packaging and marketing makes reference to the state. For example, the bottle art is a picture of Wilson Peak. The 14 is a reference to the fact that Colorado's tallest mountains stand 14,000 feet above sea level.
