Tru Organic Vodka and Tru2 Gin

Los Angeles-based TRU Organic Spirits is an eco-minded spirits company founded by a husband and wife team. Using only the finest natural products available on the market (often sourced from local growers), Tru is completely organic, packaged in 100% recyclable packaging, and made in small batches so as to maintain its high flavor profile and quality. To boot, for every bottle sold a tree is planted!

I was able to sample two of Tru’s offerings– Tru Organic Vodka and Tru2 Gin. Tru Vodka is made from 100% organic American wheat and only the highest grade certified organic ingredients were used (alcohol: 40%). The vodka has a wonderfully smooth, pure texture and can easily be enjoyed straight-up. As for the small batch artisanal gin, it is made with 14 whole aromatics (alcohol: 42%). The botanicals are macerated in layers forming an organic wheat base spirit. Among the ingredients used in the maceration process are juniper berries and chamomile which is why the gin isn’t clear, but rather it has a light amber hue. Tru2 Gin is not re-distilled after the maceration process which helps add balance to the resulting gin.
