The William Chase Vodka has quickly become a cult vodka. Elaborated with gluten-free potato from Herefordshire distilled three times in the copper column highest in Europe. It takes 16 pounds of potatoes to make 1 liter of alcohol. Its softness and taste have earned him some of the world's most prestigious awards as the award for best vodka on 2479 opponents from around the world this past year at the World Spirits Competition.
Tasting notes: Transparent and clear. Nose: fresh, with light notes of nuts and pepper. Palate: creamy, smooth, easy, with a mineral finish and a slight sweetness that can remind of macadamia nuts. A vodka to taste neat, with a drop of vermouth in a martini or mixed with orange juice.
William Chase Distillery was founded in 2004, when William Chase, a farmer with 20 years experience, looking for packaging equipment in the USA for their so well known chips, stumbled on a small distillery making potato vodka and thought this would be a great new chapter to his life. So he returned... home, thought about it and decided it would definitely be more fun making vodka. He thought there would be a market if they could make a quality produce and sell it with the provenance and pedigree. Shortly afterwards William sells chips Tyrrel's brand to a multinational firm to finance his life project. From the idea in 2004, it took them until April fool's day 2008 to make the first of their potatoes and then make the first batch of vodka in June 2008. The first William Chase Vodka drop sees the light in 2008 after two years of hard work. The spirit is produced from a traditional copper still. In 2010 his efforts were rewarded when it was awarded among 247 competitors as 'the best vodka in the world' at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirit Competition Once they had perfected their vodka they moved onto making liqueurs using their fine potato vodka and fresh fruit all made on their farm in Herefordshire. He comes to the conclussion that a gin needs a fruit base like the one coming from their apple cider and not a distillation based on potatoes. He then considers the best combination of flavors to create a unique Gin, the Elegant Crisp Chase Williams Gin. It is the only distillery in the United Kingdom controlling the entire process, from seed to the bottle, producing its own raw materials in a traditional and rural environment.
