Holiday Barrel Vodka // 1L

NEFT Vodka was founded upon the premise that a premium vodka should be able to stand on its own and enjoyed neat, solely for its taste. Using only the purest, cleanest ingredients, NEFT has accomplished just that. NEFT combines 4 ancient non-GMO rye grains farmed in Lower Saxony—Amato, Askari Pollino and Rasant—and uses a small-batch, triple copper-pot distillation process with proprietary carbon-layer filtering. The result is a vodka with a refined flavor profile and a natural, slightly sweet finish and ultra smooth finish that can be sipped straight, or to enhance your favorite cocktail.

Their award winning distillery, located near the Rhine River and Swiss Border, has been perfecting small-batch, curated spirits for over 130 years.​ The pure spring water is filtered through slate and granite far beneath the Alps for 50 years before reaching their secured aquifer. This oxygen-rich water is so clean that it is naturally low in dissolved salts and ions— a crucial aspect for any ultra-premium vodka. As a result, there is no need for demineralization at the well or over-filtering that would rob the vodka of its distinctive character.

After creating a taste like no other, NEFT put it in a shape like no other. The unique, patented NEFT barrel is unbreakable and, after refrigeration, keeps the vodka chilled for hours. This makes the NEFT the ideal vodka for pool parties, the beach, picnics or any outdoor adventure anywhere.

NEFT was named ​BEST VODKA ​at the prestigious ​San Francisco World Spirits Competition competing against 130 vodkas from around the world in a blind tasting. They continue to garner recognition including a ​98 point rating from The Tasting Panel​, ​VinePair’s 20 Best Vodka Brands​, ​a Beverage Tasting Institute Gold Medal​, and ​94 point rating and Double Gold medal from Best Tasting Spirits.com​ among others.

Tasting Notes​
“...truly impressed us with its weight and texture. Perfumed notes of tangerine and vanilla are fresh on the nose.
At first pass, cocoa seemingly melts in the mouth as pepper subtly weaves through. Cashew and lime chiffon are extremely unique flavors that caress with no burn and no edge...The finish completes the complexity with orange peel and chocolate almond...” — THE TASTING PANEL, 98 Points

“...The aroma is almond and vanilla. Additional time in the glass brings out mandarin orange and butterscotch. The sweet vanilla, caramel, and cream entry has a soft water mouth feel. Mineral and almond flavor arrive building to an orange, and almond pastry peak. It fades with butterscotch and orange. The finish is smooth, semi -dry and mineral with vanilla, spicy rye, caramel, almond paste, whole tangerine, and cream taste.” — BEST TASTING SPIRITS.COM, Score: 94, Award: Double Gold
