How Vodka is Made: Crafting Premium Vodka from Barley and Wheat
As a renowned vodka distiller, I’ve spent 5 years perfecting the craft of making premium vodka. Among all the ingredients used in vodka production, barley and wheat stand out as two of the most exceptional grains. Each brings distinct flavours and textures, and when combined, they create a vodka that’s smooth, refined, and full of character.
Why Choose Barley and Wheat for Vodka?
When it comes to how vodka is made, the choice of base grain is crucial. Wheat vodka is known for its soft, creamy texture and clean, slightly sweet taste. Barley vodka, on the other hand, has a crisp, dry finish with subtle nutty undertones. By blending these two grains, we craft a vodka that is perfectly balanced—round on the palate with a refreshing finish.
High-quality vodka begins with high-quality ingredients. We use carefully selected, non-GMO barley and wheat sourced from trusted farms. These grains are rich in starch and ideal for producing a smooth, clean vodka.
The Vodka Production Process
The vodka-making process starts with milling the barley and wheat into a fine meal. We then create a mash by mixing the grain with hot water. This activates natural enzymes that break down starches into fermentable sugars—a key step in how vodka is made from grain. Next comes fermentation, where proprietary yeast strains convert sugars into alcohol. This step lasts several days and plays a vital role in developing the smooth character that defines our barley and wheat vodka.
Vodka Distillation and Filtration
One of the most important steps in vodka production is distillation. We distil our vodka three times using copper pot stills. Copper is essential in removing impurities and refining the spirit. Unlike harsh industrial vodkas, by distilling on copper pot stills, we aim to retain the delicate flavour of the grains while achieving exceptional purity. After distillation, our vodka undergoes charcoal filtration to remove any remaining impurities. However, we are careful not to over-filter, preserving the unique qualities of both barley and wheat.
Proofing and Bottling
The final step in the vodka-making process is proofing, where we dilute the vodka to 40% ABV using natural pure harvested rainwater. This water is just as important as the grain—it adds balance and enhances the overall smoothness of the vodka.
Each batch of our barley and wheat vodka is bottled in small quantities to maintain consistency and quality. The result is a premium vodka that’s clean, complex, and ideal for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails.
A Premium Grain Vodka Experience
Crafting high-quality vodka from barley and wheat is both a science and an art. The careful selection of grains, the precision in distillation, and the respect for tradition all come together to produce a world-class vodka. Whether you're exploring vodka for the first time or you're a seasoned connoisseur, our grain-based vodka offers an experience that’s both smooth and memorable.
