Southward Distilling Original Vodka 43%

Distilled in Wellington, Southward Original Vodka is a small-batch spirit crafted with simplicity and strength in mind. Made from pure New Zealand water and carefully selected grains, it's distilled with minimal intervention to retain its bold character. Bottled at a robust 43%, this vodka delivers clarity, smoothness, and a touch of Wellington edge.

Bouquet
Clean and crisp with light grain sweetness, a hint of white pepper, and mineral purity.

Palate
Bright, full-bodied, and confidently smooth. Soft grain notes lead into a creamy mid-palate with subtle spice and a long, clean finish that holds its strength without harshness.

Food Pairing
Serve chilled or in bold cocktails like a vodka martini, Moscow mule, or espresso martini. Pairs well with charcuterie, smoked fish, or herbed potato dishes.

Cellaring
Best enjoyed fresh. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place and consume within 1–2 years once opened.

Interesting Fact
Southward Distilling is proudly Wellington-made and independent, with a focus on characterful, no-nonsense spirits—crafted by a small team of distillers who believe in quality over flash.
