Valley Vodka Unveils V-One Grapefruit

HADLEY — Valley Vodka Inc., owner of V-One Vodka, the world’s original luxury spelt grain vodka, recently unveiled the newest flavor to its award-winning portfolio, set to debut this summer: grapefruit with a hint of lemongrass.

Paul Kozub, the company’s founder and chief creator, was inspired to create this unique combination after trying a grapefruit and tonic cocktail in Poland few years ago. He called V-One Grapefruit “unmatched with its amazing grapefruit smell and extremely drinkable taste,” and noted that it’s not loaded with sugar like most other flavored vodkas.

“I am so excited to launch V-One Grapefruit, now our fourth flavor. I think it exemplifies my commitment to crafting 100% natural vodkas and using only the finest ingredients. It is fresh and delectable ingredients that deliver the best-tasting vodkas,” Kozub said. “We are very excited to have created such a refreshing blend of two such great summer ingredients, grapefruit and lemongrass.”

Kozub started V-One Vodka in 2005 as a way to honor his recently deceased Polish grandfather and his entrepreneurial father, who passed away a few months after Paul graduated from college. The V-One recipe was developed in the basement of his Hadley home. V-One is now produced exclusively in Poland, the birthplace of vodka, where the product has been crafted for more than 600 years.

V-One Vodka is handcrafted in small batches and distilled five times. It is the only vodka made solely from 100% organic spelt, one of the rarest and most expensive grains to be used in the production of vodka.
