Venus Spirits Releases Vodka

Venus Spirits has distilled a special release vodka available exclusively at the distillery. Made with organic winter wheat and distilled twenty times, Venus Spirits Vodka is rich in mouth feel with delicate sweet notes.

The fourth spirit to join the Venus Spirits brand will follow the hugely successful Gin Blend No. 01, Gin Blend No. 02 and Aquavit.

“People would ask us if we make vodka, and I wanted to make sure that if we did distill a vodka it would have the characteristics that have become synonymous with Venus Spirits,” said founder and distiller Sean Venus. “We started off with organic wheat and ran the spirit multiple times on our column pot still, resulting in a spirit that is smooth and rich.”

You can purchase a bottle of Venus Spirits Vodka from the distillery, located at 427 Swift Street in Santa Cruz, California. Tastings and cocktails will also be available on the weekends during tasting room hours.

Tasting Room Hours:

  • Friday: 1pm-7pm
  • Saturday: 1pm-7pm
  • Sunday: 1pm-5pm
