D1 Vodka

San Francisco World Spirits Competition: Gold Medal 2016

D1 Potato Vodka is a superbly balanced spirit of outstanding character with creamy smoothness. It has aromas of buttery potatoes and sourdough bread with an earthy background. 

D1 Potato Vodka is a wonderfully smooth vodka made from potatoes, balancing two vastly different worlds to give an intriguing yet rewarding experience on the palate; on the one hand it's buttery, sweet and creamy and on the other it's vegetal, herbaceous and spicy.

The daring character and delicious, creamy smoothness of D1 Potato Vodka are rooted in the careful selection of the finest potatoes. Recognised by the world’s leading bartenders as the ultimate vodka ingredient, D.J. Limbrey Distilling Company has taken the craft of potato vodka to a new level.

They start with a long fermentation before two distinct distillations. During the second of these, the vapours are elevated through a series of seven column stills to a height of 40 metres. As it ascends, the potato spirit passes over 2,000 purification plates, each raising the liquid a little bit closer to vodka perfection.

This meticulous process is controlled with such accuracy that, after blending with crystal clear water, the spirit drawn from the still can be bottled without filtration. This allows D1 Potato Vodka to retain its incredible, velvet-soft mouthfeel and distinguished creamy taste.

They carefully source every part of our product and our uncompromising approach is reflected in the way we produce the liquid. The potato distillate originates from Germany; they blend and bottle the vodka in Lancashire, using local water. The caps are manufactured in Italy, the bottles in France and the glass decoration comes from Scotland.

The bottle is as daringly distinguished as the precious liquid it holds. Fusing cultural extremes, Jacky Tsai’s Stained Glass Skull juxtaposes the Christian tradition of stained glass with pagan symbolism to conjure the spirit of an illuminated Mexican Calavera sugar skull.

The Union Jack is a personal expression of creativity and of being a British owned and operated brand. The result is vodka art: dramatic behind the bar; mesmerizing in the hand.
