Knock
it STIFF

Co-Founder and Professional Head Pro Steve Barber, bottom left of this photo brings a wealth of experience from his tenure as the Head Golf Professional at Locust Hill Country Club, hosting to the LPGA for 37 years in Rochester, NY.

Steve has been teaching people and players to knock it STIFF for years. In fact the original idea behind the name for the brand came from this unique golf term of hitting it close to the pin or knocking it “STIFF”. The idea evolved and as fate would have it more light bulbs went off as the idea of a STIFF drink being something that people seemed to be missing. Barber put two and two together and decided to make a vodka that was just a little bit stronger, 82 PROOF to be exact. 

During a dreamlike moment on a Monday at the Finger Lakes horse race track Barber looked up from his newspaper tracking the horses before placing his bets and it hit him. “What if STIFF could connect amazing people across the world to help retired race horses, unite the world around what matters, and make a difference in the process.” The rest is history. STIFF Vodka was born, and the story is only just beginning to unfold.
