Vodka: 360 Vodka – Eco Friendly Superior American 360 Vodka is an American Vodka, and also the world’s first eco-friendly premium vodka. Made in Missouri using locally sourced corn, 360 Vodka is “eco-friendly” and gluten free. Size: 750ML Proof: 80 (40% ABV) Origin: United States Distillery: The McCormick Distilling Co. 360 Vodka considers itself to be “eco-friendly.” They claim to use chlorine free paper, 85% recycled glass bottles, and with a variety of other efforts claim (as of March 2009) to have saved 193 fully grown trees, 82,766 gallons of water, 9,225 pounds of solid waste, 139 million BTU, and 18,052 pounds of greenhouse gas. We don’t know if this is impressive because we don’t know how much would’ve been saved had 360 Vodka never been produced at all but at least if you drink vodka you can drink 360 and feel you’ve dampened your drunken carbon footprint. 360 Vodka – Eco Friendly Superior American Vodka Tasting Notes Nose: The nose on this eco vodka throws fairly sweet notes of toasted marshmallow and vanilla bean. Behind the confectionary there is a hint of lingering alcoholic burn. Palate: The palate is fairly indistinct with a reprise of the candy tones and a bit of alcoholic burn. Finish: Overall not a completely memorable spirit but a good fit for those with a sweeter tooth.

Holladay in 1856 under the name Holladay Distillery, its distillery has been registered in the National Register of Historic Places and has been operating continuously at the same location longer than any other distillery in the United States.
