Norfolk winter wheat and local honey – made using an old-fashioned Polish method
Brancaster Vodka is made using Norfolk winter wheat and local honey, brought together using an old-fashioned Polish vodka-making method to create an exceptionally smooth and distinctive spirit.
The vodka is double distilled and triple filtered, producing a remarkably clean character while retaining a subtle nutty sweetness and softness that sets it apart from more neutral styles of vodka.
It is a deceptively simple combination: carefully chosen Norfolk ingredients, a traditional approach to vodka making and a production process focused on smoothness and balance.
What does Brancaster Vodka taste like?
Expect a clean, exceptionally smooth vodka with a subtle nutty sweetness.
The Norfolk winter wheat provides the grain foundation, while local honey contributes to the rounded character of the finished spirit. Double distillation followed by triple filtration creates clarity and smoothness without stripping away all of its personality.
The result is a vodka designed to be appreciated for its own character rather than simply disappearing behind whatever it is mixed with.
Made with Norfolk winter wheat and local honey
The Norfolk connection in Brancaster Vodka starts with its ingredients.
Norfolk winter wheat provides the grain base, complemented by local honey – an ingredient that also features elsewhere in the Brancaster Drinks range.
Together they give the vodka a tangible connection to Norfolk through what goes into the bottle, rather than simply through the Brancaster name on its label.
Made according to an old-fashioned Polish method
Poland has a centuries-old tradition of vodka making, and Brancaster Vodka draws directly on that heritage.
It is made according to an old-fashioned Polish method, before being double distilled and triple filtered.
That combination of traditional method, Norfolk ingredients and careful filtration is central to the vodka's clean taste, subtle sweetness and notably smooth finish.
Gold at the Global Vodka Masters 2024
Brancaster Vodka received significant recognition at the Global Vodka Masters Awards 2024, where it was awarded one of only seven Gold medals in the Ultra-Premium category.
The award recognised a vodka notable for its clean taste, nutty sweetness and exceptional smoothness – qualities that distinguish Brancaster Vodka from a spirit designed simply to be neutral.
How to enjoy Brancaster Vodka
Its smooth character means Brancaster Vodka doesn't necessarily need to be hidden behind other flavours.
Enjoy it neat over ice, pair it simply with a premium mixer, or use it to make a classic Dry Martini where the character and quality of the vodka can still come through.
