Vestal Vodka
Founded by William Borrell in 2009, Vestal is a unique series of vodkas. The range consists of two single distilled sipping vodkas and a multi-distilled mixing vodka. The idea to produce an artisan Vodka came from William and his two brand ambassadors the comedian Noel Fielding and Razorlight front man Johnny Borrell. For many of us most vodkas are a colourless, odourless, industrialised liquid that is unceremoniously added to mixers, which is a pity. Vodka can have a character of its own and be just as worthy of sipping and savouring. The Vestal Vodka Companys goal is to capture this and introduce you to the true Spirit of Poland…
