The Process
OUR SINGLE DISTILLATION PROCESS.
At Kanon our pure ingredients only need to be distilled once. There’s an old saying that goes if you repeat a lie enough it’ll come true. But to us a lie’s just a lie. And the biggest Vodka lie of all? Multiple distillation = quality, luxury or better taste. It’s one those other vodkas have been toting for some time now. Everything we put in Kanon is local and organic, from our wheat, to the water we source from our own artesian aquifer. We distill with extreme precision and divide each batch into three parts: the head, the heart, and the tail. The heads and tails, which are packed with bad alcohols, are just a recipe for a hangover. We separate these, and extract the heart the pure Ethanol—mix it with water from our artesian aquifer and bottle. That’s it! No additives, no sugar—just the full taste of wheat and artesian water. The taste and character of vodka, normally lost in subsequent distillations, are thereby maintained in perfect balance, with no ‘burn’. So why do other brands distill their product over and over? Their ingredients aren’t pure enough to begin with, and they keep parts of their heads and tails, which means they have to re-distill and use charcoal filtration to remove impurities that are gone after a single distillation of Kanon. We only bottle our first run, and heart is all we will ever put in a Kanon bottle. Our heads and tails? Recycled into bio-gas for local buses.
A FEW CHOICE WORDS
“Expertly crafted and distilled, Kanon shows that they are much more than a play at the ‘organic’ market, with one of the more impressive vodkas we’ve tasted. Very highly recommended.”

“This is going to be the Whole Foods revolution at the bar! ...and this is real vodka. Served from the freezer, its viscosity is alluring and its subtle, natural flavor is unprecedented. A truly unique find.”
– bite of the best
“...‘Green’ credibility isn’t worth much if the booze tastes like gasoline and luckily for all involved, our extensive testing confirms that this is a great tasting, certified organic vodka, neat or mixed, and it’s reasonably priced... very sweet indeed!”

The Flavour
KANON IS A VODKA YOU’LL WANT TO TASTE FOR ITSELF.
Our continuous, four-column, single-run process leaves little room for the impurities that make other vodkas burn. It also preserves the flavor of our pure ingredients. What does wheat taste like? Not everybody takes time to celebrate its light, sweet flavor. But we do. The great taste of fresh wheat is just another reason we keep the process local and organic. Kanon’s smooth, burn-free finish ensures that you’ll enjoy the taste one sip at a time.
