D1 Potato Vodka

The daring character and delicious, creamy smoothness of D1 Potato Vodka are rooted in the careful selection of the finest potatoes. Recognised by the world’s leading bartenders as the ultimate vodka ingredient, D.J. Limbrey Distilling Company has taken the craft of potato vodka to a new level.

We start with a long fermentation before two distinct distillations. During the second of these, the vapours are elevated through a series of seven column stills to a height of 40 metres. As it ascends, our potato spirit passes over 2,000 purification plates, each raising the liquid a little bit closer to vodka perfection.

This meticulous process is controlled with such accuracy that, after blending with crystal clear water, the spirit drawn from the still can be bottled without filtration. This allows D1 Potato Vodka to retain its incredible, velvet-soft mouthfeel and distinguished creamy taste.

We carefully source every part of our product and our uncompromising approach is reflected in the way we produce the liquid. Our potato distillate originates from Germany; we blend and bottle our vodka in Lancashire, using local water. Our caps are manufactured in Italy, the bottles in France and our glass decoration comes from Scotland.

Our bottle is as daringly distinguished as the precious liquid it holds. Fusing cultural extremes, Jacky Tsai’s Stained Glass Skull juxtaposes the Christian tradition of stained glass with pagan symbolism to conjure the spirit of an illuminated Mexican Calavera sugar skull. The Union Jack is a personal expression of creativity and of being a British owned and operated brand. The result is vodka art: dramatic behind the bar; mesmerizing in the hand.
