In celebration of the nation’s first solar eclipse in 99 years, which will take place Aug. 21, Backwards Distilling is inviting consumers to enjoy a vodka that is equally rare. At 40 percent alcohol by volume, the Eclipse Edition is a one-time special release of 307 Vodka, named after Wyoming’s area code and inspired by the state’s many opportunities for adventure, the company says. Made from scratch in Wyoming from Rocky Mountain water and Wyoming-grown corn and beet sugar, 307 is the go-to vodka for every adventure, the company says. The 307 Vodka Eclipse Edition is equally smooth and clean but made to celebrate a very special celestial occasion that occurs when the moon completely covers the sun, it adds.
