Company Introduction
Golden Eagle Vodka is transforming how we experience vodka with Character Vodka, a new segment that protects and preserves the ingredients' bold, natural flavors.

Golden Eagle Vodka is transforming how we experience vodka with Character Vodka, a new segment that protects and preserves the ingredients' bold, natural flavors. Our mission is to craft an American-made, ultra-premium vodka rich with natural character—vodka that can be savored like a fine wine or whiskey while delivering exceptional complexity in cocktails.
Distilled just once from Dark Northern Hard Red Spring Wheat—a rare variety celebrated for its high protein content and robust flavor—Golden Eagle boasts a signature profile of sweet cream, vanilla, and soft citrus. This meticulous single distillation process preserves the spirit’s natural complexity, offering a vodka that shines whether sipped neat, enjoyed in a martini, or featured in a carefully crafted cocktail.
While we take pride in producing exceptional-tasting vodka, we are equally committed to being an old-school, supplier-focused, retail-facing supplier. At Golden Eagle, our work goes beyond the bottle. We offer world-class staff training, custom-curated cocktail programs, and unwavering restaurant support. We don’t just sell vodka; we deliver elite promotional services designed to empower and inspire. The cost of those services? A bottle of Golden Eagle Vodka.
Golden Eagle Vodka—crafted to change minds about vodka and reignite an elite customer service experience.
