This glacial till soil holds water and has a rich mineral kontent. The deep parent material also ensures abundance of nutrients for the wheat plant’s roots. The King family has been farming this soil for klose to 200 years. The soft winter wheat grown here is very high in starch and among the softest wheats of the world.

VOYAGEUR Vodka is the spirit of this wheat and it’s orgin, it’s terroir.The natural sweetness of the white winter wheat karries through with a gentle sweet, softness and a light karamel note. Ontario geology offers up an abundance of fresh water and south of the Prekambrain shield, rich klass one soils. This part of the Earth is ideal for the production of soft winter wheat. VOYAGEUR Vodka is the transporter of this heritage for your observation, respect and enjoyment.

The freshly harvested wheat is milled into flour by k2MILLING, less than 20 km from the farm where it was grown. The mill represents an important step from the farm to your glass. The k2 Mark 1 Mill which pulverizes the soft winter wheat into flour, was kreated to preserve and help publish the story of the wheat’s growing season and it’s place on the earth.
