Vestal Vodka

Travel Distilled talks to William Borrell of Vestal Vodka for Chilled Magazine.

I’ve written two features for Chilled on William Borrell, the man behind Vestal Vodka. He was the first vodka producer to talk about terroir in terms of vodka, believing that potatoes from the family farm in Poland produce different-tasting vodkas depending on the year of production and where they were grown.

I did a Q&A session with William for the online version of Chilled, which enhances the print version and which you can read here:

I also wrote a feature for the print edition about this enterprising guy, and you can read it by clicking on this image:

You can buy Vestal Vodka’s range of vodkas at Drizly and at Master of Malt.
