Ever wondered why we chose potatoes over grains for our vodka? Sit back and pour yourself a glass as we peel back the layers of our Harvest Moon Potato Vodka's rich history.
The Humble Beginnings
In the heart of Victoria's King Valley, where fertile soil and a unique climate have long been the secret ingredients for some of Australia's finest produce, we found our calling. But it wasn't in the vineyards or the orchards; it was in a potato field.
Why Potatoes?
You might think vodka and potatoes are an odd couple, but in reality, they're a match made in heaven. Potatoes offer a rich, earthy flavour profile that grains just can't match. Plus, they're a nod to our commitment to local produce and sustainable farming.
The Art of Distillation
Crafting vodka from potatoes is no small feat. It requires double-distillation in our Artisanal Portuguese Copper Alembic Stills and a keen eye for detail. The result? A vodka with a creamy mouthfeel and complex, earthy notes that you won't find in your run-of-the-mill, grain-based spirits.
The Harvest Moon Connection
Why "Harvest Moon," you ask? Well, in farming folklore, the harvest moon is a symbol of bounty and abundance. It seemed only fitting to name our vodka after a phenomenon that celebrates the richness of the earth—just like our vodka.
A Splash of Humour:
So, the next time someone tells you vodka is just "flavourless firewater," pour them a glass of our Harvest Moon Potato Vodka. Watch their eyebrows rise in surprise as they experience the full-bodied richness that only spuds can provide. And if they're still not convinced, well, more for you, right?
Conclusion:
Our Harvest Moon Potato Vodka is more than just a drink; it's a tribute to the land, the farmers, and the age-old traditions that make King Valley so special. Cheers to the humble spud!
