About the brand
Ketel One celebrated its milestone 325th anniversary in 2016, marking over three centuries of distilling by the Nolet family in Schiedam, Netherlands. This special edition was created by the 11th generation of the family (Carl Jr. and Bob Nolet) to honor their father, Carolus Nolet Sr., and the ten generations before him.
The liquid inside is the same award-winning, 100% wheat vodka found in the standard bottling, but the presentation is a collector's dream, designed to tell the family's story through "industrial elegance."
