valentine vodka
“Our Vodka is made by doing things the right way – the way they were always meant to be done. The way they were done for centuries. No additives, no shortcuts, no nonsense. That's how we crafted a World Champion.”
— Rifino Valentine
2x “World’s Best Vodka” Winner
Detroit vodka, Detroit values.
That means no-nonsense, 100% natural, additive-free, small-batch vodka.
We make our Signature Vodka using the traditional process European distillers have used for centuries. The outcome? Pure craft vodka, twice named “World’s Best.” No chemicals. No gluten. Valentine Vodka is clear with a mild aroma of banana-coconut pudding and pastry. It has a silky medium-to-full body and a creamy, peppery spice and talc finish. It’s honest, lively, and smooth.
Bottled at 40% ABV / 80 proof
How it’s Made
Our signature small-batch vodka uses a proprietary blend of corn, wheat, and barley – we are one of the few distilleries in the world to craft vodka from a blend of grains. We copper-pot distill through two 35-foot columns housing 42 rectification plates and filter for 24 hours through a custom blend of activated carbon derived from coconut shells. No additives. No chemicals. Ever.
Tasting Notes
Mild aromas of banana-coconut pudding and pastry with a silky, off-dry medium-to-full body and a creamy, peppery spice and talc finish. Crisp and spiky, yet mellow, owing to its measurable purity and lack of flavor-altering chemical additives. A perfect anchor for your favorite cocktail ingredients, or the simple ecstasy of a quiet evening after a day well-spent.
