We Change Minds About Vodka

Distilled once from 100% Montana-grown Red wheat, we preserve the bold, naturally sweet, and nutty flavor most vodkas strip away.

Character Vodka: bold, complex, and anything but neutral.

Discover the Difference

Single Distilled

We distill one perfect time to preserve the bold, natural flavors of our ingredients. This results in a smooth, naturally rich, character-driven vodka.

Naturally Flavorful

Our single-origin Dark Northern Red wheat delivers natural notes of sweet cream, toasted almond, and brioche—full of flavor without the burn.

Better Cocktails

Golden Eagle is best appreciated near, over ice, or in a martini – yet its sweet and nutty profile adds depth and complexity to any cocktail.

American–Made Character Vodka

“We created Golden Eagle to change how people see vodka. After over a decade working in bars and restaurants, watching guests and colleagues dismiss vodka as harsh, boring, or “just a mixer”, we saw an opportunity to reimagine the spirit entirely.

Character Vodka was born from the belief that vodka can be just as bold, complex, and worthy of appreciation as bourbon, whiskey, or tequila.

Crafted to be everything but neutral.”

Our Story
Flavored by Nature

Flavored by Nature

Our wheat is grown exclusively in Montana’s extreme climate, where high altitudes, dry air, and dramatic temperature swings create a high-pressure environment that forges resilient grain and bold, concentrated flavor.

America’s most flavorful grain.

America’s most flavorful grain.

Crafted from 100%, Dark Northern Red, a high-protein hard red spring wheat variety. More protein means more depth, more body, and more character.
