Vestal Vintage Potato Vodka is a premium expression built around the idea of showcasing the character of a specific harvest rather than aiming for complete neutrality. It is produced from carefully selected potato varieties from a single vintage, allowing the natural qualities of the raw material and its origin to define the final profile.
Instead of stripping away flavor, the distillation process is kept intentionally minimal to preserve subtle aromas and texture. On the nose and palate, the vodka reveals gentle notes of baked potato, soft sweetness, and light earthy tones that reflect its agricultural roots.
The mouthfeel is smooth and medium-bodied, with well-integrated alcohol and a balanced, clean finish.
Producer
Vestal is a premium vodka brand created with the idea of bringing the focus back to terroir, raw material variety, and origin, instead of the neutral, characterless style that dominates much of the industrial vodka category. The concept was developed by British entrepreneur William Borrell, while production takes place in Poland, where Vestal uses local potato varieties from regions such as Kaszebe and Podlasie, selected for their more expressive aromatic profiles that carry through into the spirit.
The brand stands out for its minimalist approach, using single-column distillation combined with careful filtration to preserve the natural character of the potatoes - subtle sweetness, earthy tones, and delicate herbal nuances. The range includes a core premium vodka, vintage bottlings, and limited editions based on specific potato varieties, as well as flavored expressions that further highlight the character of the raw material.
Positioned between tradition and innovation, Vestal builds a clear narrative around origin and ingredients while leaving room for a modern interpretation, whether enjoyed neat or as a refined base for cocktails.
