Selkirk – Barrel Aged Vodka

Selkirk is a sipping vodka rested in charred American oak barrels for many months giving it a similar look and taste to fine Scotch whisky. Inspired by a spirit call Starka, an Eastern European barrel-aged vodka favored by nobility that dates back to the 15-th century. Our creation is exceptional. Selkirk is an extremely rare distilled spirit that will appeal to those who not only enjoy the smoothness of glass vodka but also the complexity that comes from aging found similarly in single malt whisky or on anejo tequilas. Selkirk has a beautiful deep burnished amber color. The nose is of vanilla hints of burnt caramel and toasted oak with a graceful warm finish that is incomparably refined and lacking the hot burn of whiskey. I designed the label to represent many of passions in life, including the brand namesake, my dog Selkirk. The coat-of-arms highlights our signature glass stopper which is flanked by two Labradors. The shield depicts wine grapes from which the spirit is distilled, a martini glass, a skull and crossed golf clubs. Scribed in Latin around the shield is the glass distillery motto “Embrace the unexpected”. - Founder, Head Distiller - Ian MacNeil
