Ketel One Vodka is distilled from 100% wheat and made at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, the Netherlands. It is distilled in 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. In 1983 with family recipes and techniques perfected by his ancestors, Nolet Sr. develops the Ketel One and launches it in the USA.
