Vodka made from whey is a relatively new concept that takes advantage of whey’s sugar content while also offering a constructive method of handling a dairy byproduct. Whey is the liquid that remains after producing yogurt, cheese, and other curdled milk products. It is often used to make health supplements, including protein powder, and is sometimes added to animal feed to boost protein and net calories. And, as it turns out, it also makes an excellent base for vodka! Broken Shed joins an exclusive list of distilleries using this unique but highly productive base.

According to Broken Shed’s product sheet:

TWO WATER SOURCES
– Natural mineral water from an ancient aquifer in the Southern Alps of New Zealand
– Fresh spring water from the North Island
– Blended, balanced, filtered, and purified to create the perfect vodka

THREE TIMES DISTILLED
– Keeps the character of the ingredients in the flavor profile
– No need for further distillation due to the exceptional quality whey

TASTE PROFILE
