Description

To us, purity is keeping things as natural as possible right from the beginning. Purity in the old-fashioned sense. Just as top class wine is a product of a vineyard, quality vodka starts in the field. For instance, like grapes, there are literally hundreds of different kinds of potatoes. Each has its own characteristics. So we can tell you which variety we used and why. If we blend, as we occasionally do, it's for the same reason winemakers in Bordeaux blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to produce some of the world's greatest wines - the sum is greater than the parts. We can also tell you what the growing conditions were like; sandy or loamy soil, wet or dry weather, too much or too little warm weather, an early or late harvest. All will affect the quality and taste of the potatoes. Making two identical products in different years is almost impossible; the differences in taste and texture may be subtle, as they are in wine, but they are there. So you'll find us in the fields of Kaszubia and Podlasie talking to farmers and deciding when and what to pick and making sure that it gets to the distillery with the minimum of delay. The fields are where the tastes that distinguish our products are developed; you can't turn inferior potatoes into quality vodka in the distillery. To make what we do even more authentic, we work wherever possible with farmers with smallholdings who still use horses in their fields, still use natural manure from their barns for fertilizer and who still pick the potatoes by hand. We produce our regional potato vodkas in batches of no more than 5,000 bottles and encourage you to nose, sip and savour first to appreciate the spectacular flavours we've coaxed from the potatoes. You'll find a bulbous glass the best for appreciating, amongst others, the apricot, peach, dried tobacco, and herb aromas of Vestal's artisanal products. Serving at around 15C will optimise your pleasure. Looking for Distributors, specially in spain, Australia and S.A.
