Culinary Atlanta featuring Jeff Moses with 404 Vodka

00:00 /

The following story was made possible by DecisionLink Corporation. To learn more about DecisionLink, follow them on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Jeff Moses has been developing craft beer, wine and spirits for more than two and a half decades, including cult hits Bogart’s Gin and Graffiti Wine. He has lived all over the world – and in cities with famously magnetic culture like San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles – but makes his home in Atlanta in part because of the incredible hospitality and irresistible culinary and nightlife elements. That welcoming character also inspired 404 Vodka – “Spirit of the ATL” – because Moses identified an opportunity for a craft alcohol made in Atlanta for savvy Atlanta drinkers ready for a premium spirit at an accessible price. Hence 404 Vodka – 6-times distilled, hand-bottled, gluten-free and impressively smooth – was born.
