Blue Duck Rare Vodka
a velvety, seven-times distilled New Zealand spirit crafted from pure whey distillate and pristine spring water. Silky and polished with a gentle pepper lift and a hint of lemon, it glides across the palate with exceptional purity and grace. Named for Aotearoa’s endangered whio (blue duck), it’s a premium vodka with a purpose. Tasting Notes & Experience
