Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka

Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka takes a very different approach to what vodka can be. Instead of relying on industrial grain spirit, it starts with British apples grown in the UK countryside. Those apples, balanced with a small amount of potato spirit, are slowly transformed into a crisp, clean vodka that carries a subtle orchard character rather than overwhelming heat. 

At Ellers Farm Distillery in North Yorkshire, the team built their operation around this idea of “orchard vodka.” The spirit is distilled through more than 70 plates, an intensive process that strips out harsh edges while preserving a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. The result is a vodka that many drinkers are comfortable enjoying neat, but that also holds its own in simple, high-quality cocktails where there’s nowhere to hide. 

On the palate, expect gentle notes of red and green apple, a light creamy texture, and a clean finish with hints of soft spice and pear. There’s no added sugar, and the vodka is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it a versatile option for modern home bars and cocktail programs. 

Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka is also built for drinkers who care about impact, not just flavor. The distillery has operated as carbon neutral from its first day of production and has achieved B Corp certification, signaling a verified commitment to environmental responsibility and ethical business practices. Packaging is considered too: the distinctive brown bottle contains a high proportion of recycled glass and helps protect the liquid from light. 

Whether you’re pouring a simple vodka soda with a slice of apple, shaking a bright Espresso Martini, or stocking a back bar that needs credible sustainable options, Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka delivers a rare combination of craftsmanship, character, and conscience in every 70cl, 40% ABV bottle.
