Who founded NEFT Vodka?
In 2012, Ekaterina Kuzmina set out to create a vodka more pristine than any other. Starting with pure Austrian Alps spring water and a mash bill of four ancient rye grains, she partnered with distillers who had more than 150 years of experience and used a triple copper pot distillation method to preserve the delicate flavors inherent in NEFT Vodka. Ekaterina wanted to pay homage to her family’s deep roots in the petroleum industry and their understanding of the endurance and sacrifices of Siberian oil pioneers. She created the iconic barrel-shaped container for the vodka, resembling an oil drum and symbolizing the unbreakable spirit of her family. Beautiful and functional, the barrel keeps NEFT Vodka cold for up to six hours and is portable and unbreakable, making it perfect for picnics, pool parties, après-ski, and everywhere in between.
