Hide AdDutch Barn Orchard Vodka has been certified carbon neutral since day one and efforts to minimise the company's environmental impact are at the forefront of their considerations.
The distillery has been built on Ellers Farm, located at Stamford Bridge near York, with water being sourced from the ground beneath it.
Ellers Farm is also planting twenty acres of orchard on the farm to supply apples for the vodka's fute production and which will further offset carbon emissions.
A visitor's centre will also be constructed on site. Once completed, the distillery will host tours-welcoming people from near and far.

A range of flavoured vodka is also available including Scarlett's Cherry Liqueur, Flora's Elderflower and Elderberry Liqueur and Forte's Espresso Vodka.
Dutch Barn is made under the supervision of Master Distiller Jamie Baggot who said:“The process of making Dutch Barn has been such a great challenge, as I had to ensure that it tastes great, yet keeps the production as sustainable as possible.
"I loved every minute of the challenge and believe we have made the world’s best vodka, that is also best for the world!”
