Ketel One Vodka (37.5cl, 40%)

A Dutch wheat vodka at 40% ABV in a 375ml bottle, produced at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, Netherlands. The Nolet family has been distilling spirits in Schiedam since 1691. Ketel One takes its name from Distilleerketel #1, the original 19th-century coal-fired copper pot still still used alongside modern column stills. It is made from 100% GMO-free European wheat, distilled first through column stills for purity, then redistilled in small batches in the copper pot still. It is non-chill filtered and filtered over loose charcoal. The aroma shows bright citrus peel, honey, minerality, wet flint and faint grain. The palate is crisp and wheat-forward with a silky texture, soft licorice, fennel, white pepper and subtle sweetness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with cracked black pepper and cassia bark.
