Sweet Potato Vodka: America's Heartland

The Sousa family raises lots of conventional crops on the Central California farm. But they decided to try something different and began raising sweet potatoes to turn into a special kind of vodka.

Love this video! Just found it as we're getting ready to launch our own video about David's Sweet Potato Liqueur on 11/9 and then a similar behind the scenes video out at his distillery and barrel room on 11/17. Glad to see you feature this great guy and innovative craft distiller as well!

I always wondered if anyone had gone and tried this...
Great work!!

Interesting how he openly admits that he broke the law to gain an interest in something.

Not just anyone can just start a whiskey business,he must be well connected ..

Robert Kent it's only breaking the law if you sell your garage liquor under the table,making it for yourself isn't a crime
