East African Cane Vodka

Column-distilled from Eswatini sugarcane. Clean, crisp and subtly cane-sweet, a vodka that tastes of where it grew.

Tasting

Crisp, clean, quietly sweet.

On the nose, fresh-pressed cane and a whisper of white flower. The palate is soft and rounded, with a natural cane sweetness that never turns sugary, and a clean, dry finish that leaves the glass ready for the next sip.

How it's made

From Eswatini field to Amsterdam still.

01

Column-distilled

We distil in a continuous column still, the method that gives vodka its clarity and neutral backbone, but stop short of stripping everything away, so a trace of the cane's character carries through to the glass.

02

Eswatini sugarcane

The base is sugarcane grown in the Kingdom of Eswatini, in southern Africa. Cane, rather than grain or grape, is what gives the vodka its rounded, subtly sweet signature.

Serving

Neat, long, or the base of everything.

Serve ice-cold and neat to taste the cane, or lengthen with tonic and a twist of lime. Its clean sweetness makes it a natural base for a Martini, a Moscow Mule, or any long drink that wants character without weight.
