About Ketel One vodka house:

Ketel One vodka is celebrating Melbourne craftsmanship with the creation of Ketel One House, a bespoke space designed to bring to life the heritage, authenticity and crafted taste of Ketel One vodka.

For one night only, Ketel One House will offer visitors the opportunity to sample exceptionally crafted cocktails. The drinks will be created by some of Melbourne’s leading mixologists to accentuate the crisp and sophisticated taste of Ketel One vodka, produced at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, Holland.

Behind the creation of Ketel One vodka lies the spirit’s rich family heritage. The Nolet family has been distilling for 10 generations, with the craft being passed from father to son. To this day, a senior member of the Nolet family personally approves each final run of Ketel One vodka prior to bottling. The end result is a spirit exquisitely crafted, balanced in flavour with a silky mouth feel and a subtle finish.

Ketel One House aims to bring to life the dedicated craftsmanship behind the vodka with the collaboration of some of Melbourne’s most talented designers. Using bespoke furniture, tailored lighting, illustrations and installations, the design team has created a space that combines tradition with a modern edge and brings to life the history behind Ketel One vodka.

Led by Lou Weis, creative director of the State of Design Festival, Ketel One House celebrates and displays the work of Ben Cobham, founder of Bluebottle and the talent behind some of Melbourne’s most innovative lighting installations; DJ and artist Geoffrey Nees; artist Tim McMonagle and graphic Designer Kano Hollamby.

Located in The Guildford Lane Gallery, Ketel One House offers visitors the opportunity to try the premium vodka that has become a word of mouth phenomenon in the United States and a favourite vodka of bartenders in New York.
