ST. GEORGE ALL PURPOSE VODKA
WHAT ’S IN IT Bartlett pears (yes, pears!). Why? We’ve been distilling Bartlett pears for more than three decades, ever since St. George Spirits was founded as a dedicated eau de vie distillery back in 1982. Using the same flavorful and aromatic pears here as in our flagship pear brandy makes perfect sense—delivering a spirit with substantial mouthfeel and subtle floral notes, and creating a vodka that is uniquely St. George.
HOW IT’S MADE We distill our flagship pear brandy up to 95.1% ABV, blend the resulting distillate with non-GMO grain neutral spirit, then filter to remove visible impurities before bottling.
TASTING NOTES Soft and approachable, with a rich, round mouthfeel. There’s no overt pear flavor, but the inclusion of pear distillate in this vodka adds gently floral top notes and the impression of subtle sweetness on the finish.

ST. GEORGE GREEN CHILE VODKA
WHAT ’S IN IT California-grown hot and sweet peppers (jalepenos, Serranos, habeneros, red and yellow bell peppers), lime peel, fresh cilantro

HOW IT’S MADE We fill our 1,500-liter still with crushed jalapeno peppers, lime peels, and non-GMO grain neutral spirit and distill this through a Carter head assembly that has been layered with fresh cilantro. We infuse the other four types of peppers (Serrano, habanero, red and yellow sweet bell peppers) separately, and then blend each infusion with the jalapeno/lime/cilantro distillate. We then filter to remove visible impurities before bottling—the light green tint that remains is the result of the pepper infusion we perform just prior to filtration.
TASTING NOTES The chile flavor is fresh, sweet, and bright—with just enough capsicum punch to make sure that you know we crushed tens of thousands of pounds of green jalapenos to make it.
ST. GEORGE CALIFORNIA CITRUS VODKA
WHAT ’S IN IT California-grown Valencia oranges, Seville oranges, and bergamot
HOW IT’S MADE We infuse the three types of citrus peels (Valencia orange, Seville orange, bergamot) separately into non-GMO grain neutral spirit and then distill each of those infusions separately. We blend all three distillates together, then filter the resulting vodka to remove visible impurities before bottling.
TASTING NOTES Astonishingly clear citrus flavor, genuinely tasting of both sour and sweet orange. Redolent of the whole citrus plant, with focus on the bright peel characteristics. Tart almost lemony scent in the nose.
