44 Degrees North Sunnyslope Nectarine Vodka, Idaho

Idaho’s Sunnyslope orchards provide the inspiration and fruit character for 44 Degrees North Sunnyslope Nectarine Vodka. Built on a potato-vodka base and naturally flavoured with nectarines, it combines ripe stone-fruit sweetness with a soft texture and crisp finish. A pour over ice brings its nectarine character into focus, while iced tea offers a particularly easy way to enjoy this orchard-inspired spirit.

Distiller's Background:

Ken Wyatt and Ron Zier founded 44° North in 2004 with a focus on Idaho’s agricultural ingredients and regional identity. Named for the latitude crossing the state, the brand developed a range around potato and wheat vodkas alongside fruit-flavoured expressions. Sunnyslope Nectarine celebrates the orchard-growing region of southwestern Idaho, extending that local emphasis into a bright, fruit-driven vodka.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled in a small spirits glass or over ice in a rocks glass. For a simple long drink, combine with iced tea and garnish with lemon, mint, or a nectarine slice. Soda water and fresh lemon offer a lighter-tasting alternative, while lemonade complements its ripe fruit character. Pair with mild cheeses, grilled chicken salads or fresh stone fruit.
