American Harvest - A launch party you missed and an American Vodka you need to try

About a month ago this weirdo, 1Dougie_Fresh, sent me a direct message on twitter saying "How can I invite FYLR to an event?" My first thought was Craigslist Killer. Oh fuck. Reluctantly i told him to shoot the email address info.

A day layer i had an explanation and invitation in the inbox. It was an invite to a Vodka Launch Party. Free food and booze? I'm obviously in. I got a plus one so Blondie could do two things: Keep me company at this party and pimp the blog.

Turns out 1Dougie_Fresh is not trying to kill me, but inviting FYLR to a legit event to spread the word about a new product.

We arrived to the launch party and it was packed. 100 plus food and drink people from around town. I recognized quite a few restaurateurs and liquor reps from my past life. I tracked 1DF down and he's tall as fuck. He told me about the brand and its got a great story.

American Harvest is an American made and owned Vodka. Distilled up in Oregon Wine Country, they use organic wheat for the spirit. The spirit is distributed by the same guys slinging jager so you know they will get some great placements on the bar.

I went to the bar for my first round and got SheWolf a martini and myself a vodka tonic. The martini was a house drink with a ginger flavor. It was beautiful but Clank did not approve. My VnT on the other hand was great. For a mass produced product you can really still taste the spirit. The spirit wasn't too sharp and the wheat aroma was great with the lemon garnish.

They launched in grand fashion and had a ditty bag for every guest. In the bag was organic soap and literature on the vodka.

My final thoughts is this, if it's priced in line with other vodkas it will win. The package is sound and tastes good. It's Not my favorite spirit ever, that spot is reserved for Brandon's Vodka, but I will drink this again. 

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

You're opinion is probably wrong but leave a comment anyway.
