Handcrafted in small batches, using original recipes at the Nolet Distillery in the Netherlands. Founded 1691, Ketel One is widely regarded as one of the best (if not, the best) vodkas in the world. For generations, the Nolet family in Netherlands has distilled spirits using recipes and techniques perfected by Jonnes Nolet since 1691. Ketel One, named after the original distilling "ketel number one", is distilled in small batches using traditional pot stills, filtered through charcoal and rested until its at its best. This costly, painstaking process yields a limited quantity of Ketel One.
