The owners of Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka, Barry Young and C. Prentiss Orr, give new meaning to the phrase “handmade by locals.? Produced from an original mash using locally-grown potatoes, this batchdistilled vodka is produced by hand; in other words, without the use of automated controls. As Still Master, Barry chooses the more expensive and labor-intensive route and only uses the “heart of the run?, which he cuts based on taste and experience. Named after the owners’ fathers, each bottle of Boyd & Blair is signed by Barry and then filled, corked, and dipped in wax by hand.

(80º) Boyd & Blair only uses locally grown Pennsylvania potatoes for their vodka. Nothing is automated and all distillation is performed by hand, taste and smell. They've received 5 stars from Paul Pacult Spirit Journal in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The slight natural sweetness and creamy viscosity inherent to the potato meets mid-palate flavors of cocoa bean, maple and honey. The aftertaste is graceful, solid and simply delicious.
Distillers Process: For every batch of vodka produced in a single still, there are three parts. The first part is known as the “heads”. These toxic, bitter alcohols are discarded. The “hearts” flow next. We collect these naturally sweet spirits one batch at a time. The final part is the “tails”. Most distillers recycle these musty alcohols to increase their yield. Not Boyd & Blair. We bottle only the hearts. This is what gives Boyd & Blair their signature viscosity and genuine flavor profile.
