The story

The story behind Pinnacle

Pinnacle launched in 2002 out of White Rock Distillery in Lewiston, Maine, under Paul Coulombe, with the base distillate coming from the Cognac region of Northern France. Beam Inc. bought the brand in 2012 for roughly $600 million, and it now sits with Suntory Global Spirits. The unflavored spirit is distilled from 100% French winter wheat grown in the Brie region, run through five continuous columns, purified at 190 proof, charcoal filtered, then cut with spring water in Frankfort, Kentucky.

We have poured Pinnacle at this counter for two decades because it does a plain job well and a flavored job honestly. In 2013 the flagship took the Vodka Trophy and the only Gold Outstanding at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, ahead of more than 100 vodkas. No oak, no age, no theater. Just clean wheat spirit at 80 proof.

Buying guidance

Which Pinnacle is right for you?

Value is the whole argument here. The 50mL bottles run 99 cents, which is how you try a flavor before committing to a liter. Pinnacle Raspberry 750mL is 14.99, and both the Cucumber 1L and Red Berry 1L sit at 15.99. The 1.75L of unflavored Pinnacle is 19.99, and that is the bottle we sell to people hosting a party, not mixing one drink. Compare that against premium French wheat vodka and the math stops being close. Buy Pinnacle online for curbside pickup in Commack or local delivery, free over $250.

Good to know

Pinnacle questions, answered

Where is Pinnacle Vodka made?
Pinnacle's base distillate is made in the Cognac region of Northern France from French winter wheat. It is then shipped to Frankfort, Kentucky, where it is flavored, diluted with spring water, and bottled.
Is Pinnacle Vodka gluten free?
Pinnacle is distilled from wheat, and distillation strips gluten proteins, so most wheat vodkas test gluten free. We are a retailer, not a lab, so confirm with the brand if you have celiac concerns.
How many times is Pinnacle Vodka distilled?
Pinnacle runs its wheat wash through five continuous distillation columns, then charcoal filters the spirit at 190 proof before cutting it to bottling strength. The result is a clean, neutral vodka with little burn.
What proof is Pinnacle Vodka?
The unflavored Pinnacle Vodka is 40% ABV, or 80 proof. Flavored expressions such as Raspberry, Cucumber, and Red Berry are typically 35% ABV, and the dessert styles like Whipped run lower at 30% ABV.
Can I get Pinnacle Vodka delivered or pick it up locally?
Yes. We offer same-day or next-day delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, free local delivery over $250, and free curbside pickup at our Commack store. Spirits ship to the states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout; pickup and local delivery also available.
