CREATED TO HONOR CRAFT AND TRADE

Slate Belt Spirits is dedicated to unique expressions of premium North Carolina Vodka. It tells the story of the Carolina Slate Belt Region, composed of volcanic rock and slate, that has long provided the material that stonemasons have used to construct enduring foundations for homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. Our vodka is produced with the same guiding objective: to endure. To celebrate these craftspeople, Slate Belt is thoughtfully constructed using a blend of grain and whey neutral spirits, and then gently filtered through Carolina slate and charcoal, rendering a velvety smooth and mineral focused vodka that will stand the test of time. 

Slate Belt Spirits is one of Liberty & Plenty’s purposeful brands that aspires to deliver real value beyond the glass, and supports initiatives to train and uplift future tradespeople.

Vodka

Slate Belt Vodka is thoughtfully constructed using a blend of 50% Corn neutral spirits and 50% Whey neutral spirits, re-distilled together to 95% abv, to synergize the flavor profiles. The vodka is proofed down then gently filtered, first through Carolina Slate and then through Charcoal. This proprietary blend of sweet corn and luscious whey renders a velvety smooth vodka with a touch of chalk.
