666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka
YOU’LL HAVE A DEVIL OF A TIME FINDING A BETTER VODKA.
TWENTY YEARS AGO, THE IDEA of making vodka in Tasmania had not been conceived. Yet today, with the perfect combination of a pristine location, high quality local grain, pure air and water, as well as local ingenuity, some of the best vodka in the world has been produced there. This is the story of 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka.

Tasmania is a place of wild and beautiful landscapes. It’s also Australia’s smallest state and the most geographically diverse with over 40 per cent of Tasmania reserved as national parks and world heritage wilderness. Renowned for some of the purest air on our planet, and the water from Cape Grim has been certified as the purest rainwater on the globe. Tasmania is also home to some of the highest quality grain produced anywhere. 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka proudly utilises these natural resource’s, producing one of the world’s finest vodkas.
666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka is named after the elusive Tasmanian Devil, which is the worlds largest carnivorous marsupial. It exists only on the island of Tasmania where it is wholly protected. The delicious flavour of our vodka is in part a result of the untouched pristine Tasmanian environment. 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka is committed to that environment and helping save the Tasmanian Devil; our name sake.
666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka has been one of the pioneers in a new stage in the advancement of craft vodka. It reflects the stunning natural environment in which it is produced and the high quality of the raw materials used in its production.
666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka proudly uses Tasmanian barley, which is grown locally, harvested locally, fermented locally and distilled locally. It is then 100 per cent pot distilled using Tasmanian Cape Grim rain water; the purest in the world. This pot distillation process creates a vodka with character that allows the quality of the raw ingredients to shine through, resulting in a vodka so sophisticated that it can be enjoyed as much by sipping it neat or with ice, or as a key ingredient in cocktails. This is the new era of vodka. No longer does vodka need to be thought of as odorless with no distinct taste.
666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka is the first Australian spirit to win a Gold medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2010). It is also the first Australian premium craft vodka to be sold throughout all major retail outlets and duty free stores around Australia. 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka has spread its wings to New Zealand, USA, Sri Lanka and India. It is an Australian owned and produced vodka of the highest quality, recognised not only in Australia but now also around the world.
The original, velvety smooth 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka has now been joined by the world’s first natural butter flavoured vodka: 666 Autumn Butter Vodka and the world’s first cold filtered coffee spirit: 666 St Ali Coffee Vodka.
666 Autumn Butter Vodka is a reflection of North West Tasmania; the local environment and the local industry. It is hand made with a slow fat-wash process using low heat and high quality local butter sourced from the dairy next to the distillery. The butter used is collected in Autumn when the grass is at its lushest, and the milk produced is at its creamiest. The end result is a unique, creamy and complex flavour unlike anything you have tasted. With no artificial colours, preservatives or additives, 666 Autumn Butter Vodka is a truly unique vodka experience.
666 St Ali Coffee Vodka is an expression of iconic Melbourne’s obsession with the noble bean. 666 Vodka went to Melbourne’s best coffee experts, St Ali and Australian Barista of the Year Matt Perger to help develop the perfect roast and blend, and combined 666’s passion for vodka with St Ali’s passion for coffee. Matching the purity of 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka with the perfect beans, and their own extremely cold rapid extraction process, results in a rich full flavoured pure coffee vodka perfect in an espresso martini. ❧
