World’s Best Varietal Winner, World Vodka Awards 2019

Producer

Our double award-winning Oxford Rye Organic Vodka is a smooth 100% organic rye vodka with subtle hints of spice and warm caramel. Crafted by our Master Distiller at our distillery in the heart of Oxford, we use populations of locally grown organic heritage grain, unfiltered and double distilled in our bespoke still. It is a craft sipping vodka of unparalleled smoothness and taste.

We have recently been awarded organic certification by the Soil Association, the UK’s leading food and farming organic certification body. Though the label has changed the product has not – this is the exact same Oxford Rye Vodka you have come to know and love from The Oxford Artisan Distillery.

From the organic rye grown especially for us in fields within 50 miles of Oxford, to the distilling in our hand-built copper stills and bottling on-site, it’s all our own work from seed to still - and into the bottle on the shelf.

Producing award-winning vodka, gin, rye whiskey and special editions, all with total provenance from grain-to-glass, this is sustainable artisan production at its best, supporting the biodiversity in nature to make great tasting spirits.

Specifications

24hour Coco Carbon Filtration & seven day fermented Scottish wheat 

Tasting Notes

Local wheat and water combine in our seven-day fermentation process to create maximum character and mouthfeel. Multiple distillations are followed by a 24-hour filtration process through the most porous of carbons, coconut shell carbon. This crafts a spirit of exceptional purity and taste. An all-out approach has been taken to create something really special. Extremely long fermentation and filtering times way beyond anything the industry would consider, creating purity with character and smoothness.

With soft cream soda, light toffee, and subtle biscuit notes, we recommend you simply serve straight from the freezer or over ice.
