VDKA 6100 is a fine New Zealand vodka distilled from whey, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is made in Reporoa, near Lake Taupō on New Zealand's North Island, from the whey of grass-fed cows' milk, fermented with a yeast strain from Ireland.
It is distilled, filtered through carbon and blended with local spring water.
The whey base gives a silky, rounded texture with a hint of sweetness and a clean, crisp finish.
Robert De Niro is a part owner of the brand, and its sleek white-labelled bottle suits any modern bar. Using whey, a by-product of New Zealand's dairy farms, makes it a distinctive and resourceful spirit, and the clean, smooth result is as good sipped straight from the freezer as it is mixed.
