Irish upstart Istil 38 was recently deemed the best vodka in the world, much to the delight of backers that include Pippa O’ Connor and Brian Ormond.
Founded in 2021, Shane Deavey saw an opportunity and a gap in the premium Irish Vodka Market, and with Co-Founders Niall O’ Dwyer and John Reynolds, has watched his company win accolades, admiration and an almost universal adulation for their supremely smooth spirits.
Made from wheat, as opposed to potatoes, this superb premium vodka is distilled four times, imbuing it with a crisp, clean flavour and velvety texture.
Also available in Vanilla and Cranberry flavours.
