Ketel One Vodka

750ml & 80 Proof

What is Ketel One Vodka?

Ketel One vodka stands out for its unique distillation process, which includes a final refinement in small copper pot stills to enhance smoothness and flavor. Interestingly, the Nolet family, who has been crafting spirits for over 300 years, still personally tastes and approves every batch of Ketel One before it leaves their distillery in Schiedam, Netherlands.

Why do we love Ketel One Vodka?

Cocktail enthusiasts should appreciate Ketel One Vodka for its distinctive production process, which includes distillation in small batches using copper pot stills and a unique coal filtration method. This family-owned brand, produced in Schiedam, Netherlands since the 17th century, stands out for its crisp, clean flavor profile with subtle citrus notes and a smooth finish that enhances rather than overpowers cocktails.

How do you drink Ketel One Vodka?

Ketel One Vodka shines best in classic vodka cocktails where its smooth, crisp character can take center stage, though it's equally enjoyable sipped neat or over ice for those who appreciate its subtle wheat and citrus notes. This versatile spirit is a year-round crowd-pleaser, but it's particularly refreshing in warm weather paired with light, seafood-based dishes or as a palate cleanser between courses of a rich meal.

Nose: Clean and crisp with subtle hints of citrus peel and white pepper. There's a gentle sweetness reminiscent of wheat fields and a faint mineral note.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. Flavors of lemon zest and vanilla emerge, balanced by a slight graininess. A touch of anise and almond add complexity without overwhelming the palate.

Finish: Medium-length with a warming sensation. The citrus notes linger, accompanied by a gentle spiciness and a clean, slightly sweet aftertaste. There's a subtle mineral quality that leaves the palate refreshed.

Ketel One Vodka is crafted using a unique combination of modern column distillation and traditional copper pot stills, including the original coal-fired "Distilleerketel #1" still from which it gets its name. After distillation, the vodka undergoes a meticulous filtration process using charcoal, and each batch is personally taste-tested by a member of the Nolet family before bottling to ensure consistent quality.

  • Ketel One's iconic bottle shape was inspired by the traditional copper pot stills used in distillation. The glass is even embossed with intricate details mimicking the rivets and seams of these stills, paying homage to the brand's distilling heritage.
  • Despite being a vodka, Ketel One undergoes a unique "coal filtration" process typically reserved for whiskey production. This method helps create its distinctive smooth texture and subtle flavors, setting it apart from other vodkas.
  • The Nolet family, creators of Ketel One, have been distilling spirits for over 330 years – that's older than the United States itself! They still use "Distilleerketel #1" (Distillery Kettle #1), the original copper pot still from 1864, to produce a portion of every batch of Ketel One vodka.
