Black Cow

'World's Smoothest Vodka'

Zero waste to wonderful taste since 2012. Black Cow is the world’s first Pure Milk Vodka.

Made in West Dorset using what is left over from grass-grazed cow’s milk after making cheese. Using milk as the only source ingredient is what makes Black Cow vodka so smooth. Sip neat, or mix in a long drink or cocktail.

 

 

Innovative Spirit

The invention of West Dorset dairy farmer, Jason Barber, Black Cow is designed to be sustainable. According to current research producing spirits from waste whey uses less water than grain based spirit, reduces CO2 emissions and the environmental impacts of cheese making and spirit production.

How It Started

Archie, an artist, and Jason are neighbors and good friends. Together they share a love of vodka. It was back in 2011 that they came up with the idea of Pure Milk Vodka. Following a year of experimenting, sipping and tweaking, in 2012 they officially launched Black Cow.

Where they make Black Cow

Black Cow is based on a farm in the heart of West Dorset, a cross-country ramble several miles from Beaminster. We like to keep things simple so we do most things here on the farm. Jason’s 250-strong herd of dairy cows graze on nearby fields and our vodka is distilled and bottled here by hand.

How they Make It

At Black Cow they know milk is precious, so they don’t waste a drop. It starts with separating the milk into curds and whey. The curds make the cheese – including Black Cow Deluxe Cheddar – but, often, the whey ends up going to waste. They take that whey and, using a secret distilling process, turn it into the ‘world’s smoothest vodka’. So smooth you can drink it till the cows come home.

Perfect to sip neat or mix in a long drink or cocktail. Try it.
