What Types of Vodka Are There? Why Is Corn Vodka Considered the Best?

Vodka may be known as a neutral spirit, but not all vodkas are created equal. The base ingredient used in distillation—whether it’s corn, wheat, rye, potatoes, or even grapes—makes a huge difference in flavor, smoothness, and overall quality. At Writers & Rockers Spirits, we craft our spirits using the highest quality corn vodka to deliver an ultra-smooth, naturally sweet, and perfectly balanced experience.

Let’s break down the different types of vodka and why corn vodka is the best choice for those who want a clean, smooth finish without the harsh bite.

The Different Types of Vodka: What’s the Difference?

🔥 Corn Vodka – Ultra-smooth & naturally sweet
✅ Distilled from corn, this vodka has a silky mouthfeel and a slightly sweet, clean flavor.
✅ It’s naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with sensitivities.
✅ Known for its exceptional smoothness, making it perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in premium cocktails.
⭐ Used in all Writers & Rockers Spirits products for the best taste & quality!

🔥 Wheat Vodka – Light & Crisp
✅ Has a soft, slightly bready taste with a mild sweetness.
✅ Tends to be lighter in body, often used in European-style vodkas.
✅ Popular brands often use wheat for its clean yet subtle grainy character.

🔥 Rye Vodka – Bold & Peppery
✅ Known for its spicy, robust, and slightly dry finish.
✅ Offers more bite and complexity, making it a great option for those who like a little heat in their vodka.
✅ Preferred in classic Eastern European vodkas.

🔥 Potato Vodka – Rich & Creamy
✅ Full-bodied and silky, with a heavier mouthfeel.
✅ Has earthy, nutty notes, making it ideal for sipping neat or in martinis.
✅ Naturally gluten-free, like corn vodka.

🔥 Grape & Other Fruit-Based Vodkas – Fruity & Aromatic
✅ Made from grapes, apples, or even honey, these vodkas tend to have floral and fruity undertones.
✅ Used in artisanal or craft vodkas, but less common than grain-based varieties.

Why Is Corn Vodka Considered the Best?

At Writers & Rockers Spirits, we use only the finest corn vodka in our products. Here’s why:

✅ Ultra-Smooth Finish – Corn vodka has a naturally soft and velvety mouthfeel, making it exceptionally easy to drink.
✅ Slight Natural Sweetness – Unlike rye or wheat vodkas, corn vodka has a gentle sweetness that enhances cocktails without overpowering them.
✅ Perfect for Infusions & Liqueurs – Its clean, neutral profile makes it the best choice for flavored spirits, allowing other ingredients to shine—like in Todd Kerns’ Dammit Coffee Liqueur, Orianthi's Lavender Vodka and Tracii Guns’ Mojava Mojo Coffee Liqueur.
✅ Gluten-Free & High-Quality – Corn vodka is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary concerns. Plus, we distill it six times for the purest, smoothest taste.
