Ketel One Vodka is distilled from 100% wheat and made at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, Holland. It is distilled in alembic copper pot stills, filtered over loose charcoal, and rests in tile lined tanks until ready. Ketel One Vodka is named after the original, copper pot still, “Distilleerketel #1,” and is handcrafted in small batches. The alcohol content of this spirit is 40% (80 proof). The Nolet Distillery also makes Ketel One Citroen and Ketel 1 Jenever Gin.
[edit] History
The Nolet Distillery was founded by Joannes Nolet in 1691 in the town of Schiedam, Holland. Today it is still owned by the Nolet family and led by chairman, Carl Nolet, Sr., 10th generation Nolet. The Nolet Distillery, producers of Ketel One Vodka and Ketel One Citroen for multiple international markets and Ketel1 Jenever Gin for the Dutch market, remains encompassed in tradition and is one of the oldest family-operated companies in Holland.
