Uncompromising Passion

Old Barrel represents an innovative approach to vodka production, merging the clean precision of traditional grain distillation with the sophisticated aging techniques of Cognac production. Produced in France from premium grain and distilled five times for purity, the spirit undergoes a distinctive maceration period in charred oak barrels that previously aged fine Cognac. This finishing process imparts a rich golden hue and layered character rarely encountered in conventional vodka. The result is a spirit that bridges the neutral clarity of well-made vodka with the warm, wood-driven complexity typically associated with aged brandy. Tasting notes reveal delicate vanilla, caramel, and oak notes alongside subtle hints of toast and quince, culminating in a buttery finish. Old Barrel earned a Silver Medal at the 2014 Spirit Innovation awards and a score of 88 points from Tastings.com, recognizing its distinctive profile. The spirit is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing its refined character to shine without dilution.

Five-times distilled French grain spirit using column stills for maximum purity. Finished through maceration in charred oak barrels previously used for Cognac aging, imparting warm wood notes and golden color. Charcoal filtration ensures clean spirit base before cask finishing. Bottled at 40% ABV without excessive chilling required.
