Introducing Oliver’s Own Vodka

It’s an exciting time for our Oliver’s Wine, Beer, and Spirits team this week as we introduce our customers to our brand new Oliver’s Own Vodka!

From packaging design to honing in on the right craft-distilled blend, this has been a true labor of love. Our Corporate Wine & Liquor Coordinator, Josh Kirchhoff, elected to work with a small distiller located near Sacramento to craft our small batch vodka, all while keeping to the Oliver’s Own commitment to always deliver on great quality and value.

Let’s learn a bit more about this tasty vodka and explore several great ways to enjoy it!

Note: All quoted pricing is in effect through November 5, 2024 at all four Sonoma County Oliver’s Market locations.

Quality from Grain to Bottle

Oliver’s Own Vodka is distilled in small batches from 100% grain for a smooth, clean taste. The artisanal distillation and use of grains gives this vodka subtle flavor and character, ending with a smooth finish.

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce our latest product from the Oliver’s Own line…Vodka!” Josh explains. “While vodka can be somewhat neutral in flavor and aromatics, we feel we’ve created a product that is so much more! Made from 100% grain, this beauty is brimming with floral aromatics, followed on the palate with blue fruit tones, and subtle spice. Finishing incredibly crisp and clean, this gem defines the term ‘overdelivers’. We hope our customers will appreciate and enjoy it.”
