Blue Ice Vodka was rated the #1 American vodka in 2003 by the Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago, with 93 points.

America’s finest potato vodka can only come from one place –Idaho– home to the luscious Russet Burbank Potato. Idaho is the true birthplace of Blue Ice Vodka; it is where the people behind the brand come from and live, where the natural ingredients are sourced and where the product is made.

Contrary to popular belief, less than 3% of all vodka produced worldwide is made from potatoes. This is because a greater investment in premium ingredients, skill and effort is required to produce vodka from potatoes than from grain. It takes 9 1/2 pounds of potatoes to craft each bottle of Blue Ice Vodka.
 
The potatoes used in Blue Ice Vodka come from the richest potato-growing region in North America, where high-altitudes, warm days and cool nights, and light volcanic soil produce high quality potatoes with excellent taste and character. Idaho Russet Burbank Potatoes give Blue Ice Vodka its distinctive flavor and smoothness.
