I read an article in the Oklahoman, yesterday, that dealt with the upcoming openings of two distilleries in Oklahoma. One in Guthrie--involving the demoltion of A Sacred Shrine to The Petroleum Industry--and one in Moore(?). It said that they would be the only two in the state. When did that place downtown, apparently near the old Fred Jones plant, cease operations? I was told that they made pretty good "premium" vodka but I can't even remember the name of the place. Nor did I ever have a chance to sample it. Or was all this just my imagination?

It was Old Russia.

Is it still around? (i couldn't find anything on Google indicating it had closed).

As far as I can recall old Russia bottled vodka but was not a distillery.

Old Russia was a distillery but I think they closed up after a few years. They were the first legal distillery in Oklahoma.
