Kolenko Vodka is a premium potato vodka produced on the Kolenko family farm in Črenšovci, in Slovenia’s Prekmurje region, with a strong emphasis on origin, raw material control, and small-scale craftsmanship. The vodka is made exclusively from potatoes grown on the family’s own fields, allowing full traceability from cultivation to bottling.
After harvesting, the potatoes undergo fermentation lasting approximately one week, followed by four-fold distillation in copper stills, reaching a high-purity alcohol base of 96% ABV. The distillate is then blended with natural water from the Pannonian basin and reduced to 40% ABV.
To refine texture and balance, the vodka is filtered four times through activated carbon, resulting in a clean, smooth, and neutral profile with subtle structure typical of potato-based spirits. The production process avoids industrial shortcuts, focusing instead on precision, consistency, and purity.
Kolenko Vodka is bottled in Slovenia using high-quality glass, reinforcing its premium positioning. On the palate, it is soft and rounded, with a discreet mineral impression and a gentle finish, making it suitable both for neat consumption and refined cocktails.
The vodka has received international recognition, confirming its quality within the premium spirits category. Kolenko Vodka reflects a clear link between agriculture, terroir, and contemporary craft distillation.
