HDW CLIX is a premium small-batch vodka crafted by Buffalo Trace Distillery, distilled from hand-selected grains and named for Master Distiller Harlen Davis Wheatley. Bottled at 80 proof, this vodka is the result of a decade-long pursuit to build a specialized still system and perfect a truly refined spirit. Expect a clean, crisp profile with a subtle sweetness and a polished finish that sets it apart from everyday vodkas.
Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making American spirits since 1773, and its reputation for bourbon runs deep. Harlen Wheatley and his team took that same obsessive attention to detail and applied it to vodka, spending seven years designing and installing a custom series of copper and stainless steel stills before the first batch of HDW CLIX was ever bottled. It's a project built on patience, precision, and a genuine desire to make the finest vodka possible.
