With a twist that’s redefining a popular sip, one Australian vodka has just been crowned the Most Innovative Spirit on the global stage.

Uniquely, Never Never crafts its Signature Vodka from premium Australian wheat spirit and enriches it with distilled olive, coconut and avocado oils.

The result is a smooth, ultra-textured vodka with subtle notes of olive, white chocolate, honeyed macadamia and coconut cream. And it’s that balance of sweet and savoury that makes it perfect for martinis and highballs alike.

“At Never Never, we have always aimed to innovate regardless of the product we are making. We built a textural vodka using the techniques learned over eight years of building incredible flavour in gin.”

Tim Boast, Head Distiller

Designed for flavour and texture

According to Tim, creating an authentic premium vodka here in Australia is no easy task.

“… we can’t rely on Eastern European distilling heritage, Russian winter wheat or Polish potato. We don’t have Icelandic glacial water or French Appellation. What we do have is a very good understanding of how to build texture and flavour, so we leaned on that skillset to build a premium product.”

The Never Never team selected the three distilled oils for their ability to add texture without overpowering the palate.

They draw the water from the same McLaren Vale source used in their gin and add natural salts to enhance the mouthfeel and lift the pH. They also filter the neutral spirit through activated carbon for 16 hours to strip out any unwanted flavours before blending in the final oil distillates.

The result is a vodka that’s ultra smooth with the perfect texture and mouthfeel for a range of cocktails and mixed drinks.

Already shaking up Australia’s best bars

Since its release last month, Never Never Signature Vodka has landed in top venues nationwide.

Melbourne’s award-winning cocktail bar Byrdi uses Signature Vodka as its house martini. In Sydney, Tailor Room in the Rocks have just launched their ‘Satin’ cocktail featuring Signature Vodka.

And over in Never Never’s hometown of Adelaide, Hi-Fi bar Honeydripper shakes up Signature Vodka with a tsukemono of pickled cucumber and karkalla. They top it with smoked caperberries and serve it freezer cold.
