Founded in 2020 by Chris Fraser on the site of a former Yorkshire orchard, Dutch Barn Vodka is the culmination of Fraser’s adventurous spirit and unwavering commitment to sustainability. Driven by a passion for both exceptional craftsmanship and environmental stewardship, Fraser set out to create a vodka that is not only crisp and smooth, but also deeply connected to the planet. This product is made from British apples, Dutch Barn delivers on premium quality and taste.
In 2023, Dutch Barn expanded its leadership with the addition of English comedian and actor Ricky Gervais as co-owner. Together, they aim to elevate Dutch Barn Vodka to new heights while remaining steadfast in their dedication to sustainability and biodiversity. With bottles crafted from 68% recycled glass and nearly 400 apple trees planted in the orchard, Dutch Barn is on a clear path toward achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.
Dutch Barn’s dedication to excellence extends beyond the ingredients. The vodka undergoes a rigorous 70-stage distillation process at Ellers Farm Distillery, where each batch is distilled 70 times through specially designed copper pot stills and rectification columns. This meticulous process ensures that the vodka meets the highest standards of quality, with the spirit being carefully monitored every 20 minutes for consistency and purity.
