#THE STORY
IN 2013, SWEDISH CHEF CLAES STENMARK INTRODUCED VIRTUOUS, AN UNFILTERED SMALL BATCH VODKA WITH A DISTINCT YET SMOOTH TASTE WITH A SUBTLE SWEETNESS. HIS QUEST WAS TO CREATE A VODKA THAT WOULD MEASURE UP TO THE SAME HIGH STANDARDS HE EXPECTED FROM THE PRODUCTS HE USED IN HIS KITCHEN. WITH AN INTENT FROM THE HEART-OF-HIS-HEART, UNFILTERED AS LIFE ITSELF.
ALREADY AS A SMALL CHILD, CLAES GATHERED WILD BERRIES AND HERBS TOGETHER WITH HIS GRANDFATHER, IN ORDER TO FLAVOUR SPIRITS ACCORDING TO NORTHERN TRADITION. THIS IS WHERE HIS PASSION FOR AUTHENTIC TASTE AND FLAVOUR STARTED.
