Mountain Goat Vodka is vodka — brewery style. Triple distilled with Melbourne water and the same malted barley used in brewing Mountain Goat Pale Ale, this is a vodka of genuine character and distinction — clean and smooth as you would expect from the style, but with hints of sweet, buttery caramel from the malted barley that add both an unexpected and entirely welcome lift. A craft spirit that bridges the worlds of brewing and distilling, and a true expression of Mountain Goat’s irreverent, quality-driven approach to making great drinks in Melbourne.
