We're giving away eight bottles of Vansetter vodka and entering couldn't be easier.
Itinerant Spirits is launching two new Vansetter Vodka flavours on World Vodka Day.
The Ballarat-based distillery is dropping Habanero & Lime and Cucumber & Mint alongside a handcrafted Vansetter Triple Sec liqueur on 4 October. These aren’t your typical confectionery-style vodkas that taste like liquid lollies. Head distiller James Fairlie and the team have gone the precision route using supercritical CO₂ extraction for spice and vacuum distillation for fresh fruit.
Fairlie brings serious credentials to the operation, with family ties to Scotland’s historic Glenturret Distillery and four years at Four Pillars Distillery. The new flavours showcase what happens when you prioritise actual ingredients over artificial shortcuts. Both vodkas start with locally grown grains and get proofed with natural volcanic spring water, following the same approach that earned the original Vansetter Vodka medals at international competitions.
Itinerant Spirits launched Vansetter Vodka in 2023 and has already collected medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, London Spirits Competition and Australian Distilled Spirits Awards. The distillery operates with sustainability front of mind, using refillable grain bins, closed-loop cooling systems and recycling stillage into animal feed and bioenergy.
Co-founder Brad Wilson previously worked at Little Lon Distilling Co, while Fairlie’s resume includes stints at Four Pillars Distillery and Whisky & Alement. The limited release means only a small number of bottles will be available in the first run, so early birds get the goods.
Each bottle features Vansetter’s signature bold design with iconic yellow labelling created by Chad Michael Studio in Texas. The new flavours represent the first waypoints in what the distillery calls its vodka journey, with more signature flavours planned for the future.
