The NEFT Premium Austrian Vodka proves that exceptional vodka doesn't need complicated recipes or countless ingredients. Crafted in the Austrian Alps using just two carefully selected ingredients—ancient non-GMO rye and naturally filtered Alpine spring water—NEFT delivers a remarkably clean, silky and elegant vodka that has become a favourite among bartenders, collectors and vodka enthusiasts around the world.
Presented in its instantly recognisable oil barrel-inspired container, NEFT stands apart from almost every other vodka on the shelf. The lightweight, shatterproof and recyclable barrel doesn't simply make a statement—it also helps keep the vodka colder for longer, making it ideal for outdoor adventures, parties and gifting.
Born in Austria, Inspired by Siberia
NEFT was conceived in Austria in 2011, but its inspiration comes from much further east.
The founders wanted to create a vodka that paid tribute to the endurance and resilience of Siberian oil workers who often celebrated together in some of the world's harshest environments. The distinctive barrel-shaped packaging reflects this heritage, while the name "NEFT", meaning "oil" in Russian, acknowledges the brand's unique inspiration.
Although the design tells an industrial story, everything inside the barrel is focused on purity, craftsmanship and premium quality.
Just Two Ingredients
Unlike many premium vodkas that emphasise multiple distillations or elaborate filtration systems, NEFT takes a more minimalist approach.
Every bottle is made using:
- Ancient non-GMO rye
- Mineral-rich Alpine spring water
Nothing else.
There are no added sugars, no additives and no flavourings, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine through. The result is a vodka that's exceptionally smooth, crisp and clean, with a silky mouthfeel and surprisingly complex character.
Crafted in the Austrian Alps
Austria may not be the first country that comes to mind when thinking about vodka, but NEFT has helped change that perception.
Produced in small batches using traditional distillation techniques alongside modern precision, every bottle reflects the purity of its Alpine surroundings. The naturally filtered mountain water contributes a clean mineral character, while the rye provides subtle sweetness and gentle spice that distinguish NEFT from more neutral vodka styles.
The result is a vodka that's equally enjoyable neat, over ice or in premium cocktails.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh rye, white pepper, delicate citrus and subtle mineral notes.
Palate: Silky smooth with soft caramel, vanilla, lemongrass, gentle rye spice and exceptional purity.
