Description

Ketel One Vodka is a family-made Dutch vodka with a crisp, smooth taste, a splash of citrus, and a long finish. Produced in Schiedam, Holland, it combines modern distilling techniques with the traditional use of copper pot stills, reflecting more than three centuries of Nolet family distilling heritage.

The vodka is crafted from European wheat and distilled in copper pot stills before being filtered over charcoal and stored in lined tanks. Every batch is personally approved and signed off by a member of the Nolet family, preserving the quality standards that have defined Ketel One since its creation in 1983.

Clean, balanced, and remarkably versatile, Ketel One Vodka was originally created to shine in the Martini. Its smooth texture and subtle citrus character also make it ideal for a Vodka Soda, Espresso Martini, Dutch Mule, Bloody Mary, and other refined vodka cocktails.

Craftsmanship

Ketel One Vodka is made at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, where modern distilling technology is combined with traditional copper pot stills. The name Ketel One comes from the distillery’s original copper pot still, Distilleerketel No. 1—Dutch for Pot Still No. 1.

Every batch is personally approved and signed off by a member of the Nolet family. The bottle carries the family crest and the names of the generations who have led the distillery, reflecting a continuous family tradition that began when the Nolet Distillery was founded in 1691.

About Ketel One

The Nolet Distillery was founded in Schiedam in 1691 and has remained under the stewardship of the Nolet family for eleven generations. Ketel One Vodka was created in 1983 by the family’s 10th generation and was developed specifically to perform beautifully in the Martini.

Today, Ketel One remains defined by its Dutch heritage, family oversight, traditional copper pot stills, and commitment to producing a crisp, smooth vodka with citrus character and a long finish.
