It’s January of 1942. The US has recently entered World War II. And Clear Spring Distilling Company, a Jim Beam subsidiary, has just released a brand-new product. It’s called Dark Eyes Vodka, and Bottle #126 is Grandma’s tiny bottle of it. Hers is from the 1980s. But World War II was really influential on vodka’s ascendancy in the United States, and echoes of that kept coming up as I researched this tiny bottle, and I dive into that fascinating history in this episode.
