How it started

Born in a drugstore aisle

Walking the aisles of a local Phoenix drugstore, our founder noticed how few American vodka brands were on the shelves.

So we made one. American Premium Vodka launched nationwide on March 15, 2022, as a made-in-America choice, distilled from a gluten-free blend of Midwestern sweet corn and bottled in Scottsdale, Arizona.

From the start, we have proudly supported the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and The American Legion.

Made in honor of our real American heroes.
