Vodka
We are bottling the spirit of Daylesford: the very things that make the area unique and special. Expertly made spirits, showcasing native ingredients derived from the waters of Mount Franklin, the rejuvenating environment, and the local artisanal food producers.
A premium vodka that mirrors the crystal clarity of the nearby waters. It offers a nearly neutral aroma, gently hinting at the essence of freshly baked bread derived from locally sourced grains. The vodka presents a well-balanced profile, featuring notes of black pepper and a luxuriously smooth, velvety texture on the palate. This is a unique representation of the flavours that the Daylesford region provides.

The Flavour Profile of Craft Vodka Australia
Daylesford Spirit's vodka delivers a sophisticated sensory experience that sets it apart in the premium Australian vodka market. On the nose, the spirit presents a nearly neutral aroma with subtle grain undertones and the faint essence of freshly baked bread—a characteristic inherited from our locally sourced barley and wheat.
On the palate, the vodka reveals its full personality. The opening notes feature a refined balance of black pepper with just a whisper of white spice, followed by the spirit's signature luxuriously smooth, velvety texture. The mid-palate unfolds with subtle mineral notes from our Mount Franklin water source, whilst the finish is remarkably clean and long, with a delicate warmth that lingers pleasantly. This is premium Australian vodka designed for the discerning drinker who appreciates craft quality over mass production.
Our Craft Distillation Process
At Daylesford Spirit, our vodka is handcrafted using traditional distillation methods combined with modern precision. We begin with the finest locally sourced grains, selected for their character and purity. The foundation of our craft lies in Mount Franklin's pure water—a natural spring water so clean and mineral-balanced that it requires minimal treatment, allowing the true character of our spirit to shine through.
Our distillation process honours traditional craft whilst ensuring exceptional smoothness and refinement. Each batch is carefully monitored to achieve the perfect balance between flavour and purity, respecting the heritage of artisanal spirit-making that defines the Daylesford region. This hand-crafted approach to premium vodka production is what distinguishes us from mass-produced competitors and reflects our commitment to bottling the true spirit of our remarkable location.
