how we make our original vodka
Our original vodka uses locally sourced English Winter Wheat from Oxfordshire’s rich farmlands. We choose Sundance, a Class 3 biscuit wheat prized for its high starch and low gluten, and use 1kg per bottle. Planted in autumn, this wheat grows slowly in the cold, developing a unique character.
At our distillery in rural Oxfordshire, we hand-crush our grains into a coarse grist using an English-built hammer mill. This traditional process preserves the husk and natural texture, ensuring that our grist remains robust.
Our vodka is meticulously distilled in a handcrafted 46-plate column still, reaching up to 96% ABV. Each plate refines the spirit multiple times, creating an exceptionally smooth, clean, and deeply complex vodka.
Once our spirit leaves the still at 96% ABV, we bring it gently down to strength with pure Himalayan water, drawn from the mountains that feed India’s great rivers. Clean and crisp, it lets the smooth, creamy character of our English winter wheat shine through.
Every drop of our original vodka is captured in a bespoke glass bottle, a true reflection of our brand’s story. Super smooth and deeply complex, ready to be savoured neat or transformed into unforgettable cocktails.
Desi Martini
An exquisitely spiced twist on the classic dry martini, blending Desi Daru Original vodka with floral‑sweet Martini Bianco and aromatic cardamom bitters, stirred ice‑cold, then crowned by a mist of expressed orange zest to perfume.
