Vestal Polish Vodka 70cl

Product Information

The source of their water and potatoes ( three are used varieties in this release: Innovator, Asterix and Russet Burbank) are integral and they even offer vintage vodkas from a particular year to emphasise the terroir of that release. A flavoured vodka from Vestal, made with a base of its excellent Polish potato vodka (which is distilled and filtered only once, to keep the flavours of the potatoes intact) along with raspberries and blackcurrants. A densely fruity flavoured vodka here from the Vestal range, packed to the brim with black cherry decadence.

The variety of potato, the type of soil it was grown in, the growing season the harvest endure - they all play a part in what Vestal’s spirits take like. There are two ways to make potato vodka — real potato vodka, which is a dying breed, or the other, which utilizes potato chippings in a mash, or even a powdered starch that falls off the potato to make a type of potato ethanol,” says Borrell, who grew to love vodka after spending his teen and early adult summers in Poland with his father, a former Time war correspondent. So I mixed a Martini and had a chat with the founder of Vestal Vodka,William Borrell who lived in Poland for several years, and is based in the United Kingdom. All ingredients including spring water from our well are sourced when possible, potatoes have been grown on our farm or in various other fields that are no more than 30 km away. Using a blend of potato varieties grown in Poland and pure Polish water, Vestal have produced a supremely flavoursome vodka.Vestal vodka was inspired by the ideas of terroir and vintage , we asked the question what would happen if you planted different potato varieties in different soils much like a wine producer would describe as terroir.

Great chilled in a wine glass, but probably a wonderful base for a dirty martini with a stuffed blue cheese olive. There has been a rise in craft vodkas being produced over the past few years, with small-batch producers taking the liquid to quality and flavour levels never seen before,” he says.We recommend you enjoy Vestal in a large wine glass with one cube of ice or mixed in sumptuous cocktails , it might be considered a basic cocktail but a Vestal vodka martini is hard to beat. We try where we can to be mindful of the environment , our bottle is made from 100% recycled glass , potatoes farmed on a sustainable crop rotation basis and any waste products recycled when possible.
