Grey Goose Vodka
Grey Goose is a premium French vodka, renowned for its exceptional smoothness and delicate taste, crafted from the finest French ingredients: soft winter wheat and pure spring water.
Grey Goose Vodka is the result of an unwavering commitment to crafting a vodka unlike any other. Every bottle embodies the essence of superior ingredients from France, including soft winter wheat grown in and around the Picardy region, and pristine spring water sourced from Gensac in the Cognac region, naturally filtered through limestone. This meticulous process, from field to bottle, is overseen by a dedicated team, ensuring unparalleled quality and a distinctive character. The vodka undergoes a single distillation to preserve the natural flavors and aromas, resulting in a smooth, rounded texture with subtle hints of almond and a long, satisfying finish. It's a versatile spirit, perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for elevated cocktails.

Interesting Facts
French Origin: Despite being founded by an American entrepreneur, Sidney Frank, Grey Goose is 100% French in its production, from grain to bottle. This emphasis on French terroir was a key part of its marketing strategy.
Single Distillation: Unlike some vodkas that are distilled multiple times, Grey Goose is distilled only once. This is intentional, as the brand believes it preserves the natural flavors and integrity of the high-quality ingredients.
