Flavour Intensity
Cognac, France
Erika comes from Nouvelle-Aquitaine, on the west coast of France. A beautiful region incorporating the famous cities of Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Cognac and Biarritz, this is where Erika was born at a restaurant table in Bordeaux, and where it’s made in an ancient distillery in Cognac.
Local sourcing
Having polished their expertise in the creation of craft gins, Erika’s founders recently turned their attention to vodka. Polka is the first vodka they have produced, but they never stray far from their roots. Co-founder Paul is a beekeeper, and his honey serves as a base in almost all of Erika’s craft spirits.
Special ingredients
After the first distillation in the Stupfler still, Polka is distilled again, with the addition of wildflower pollen and Callune heather honey from Paul’s hives. These innovative ingredients bring a fresh, wild touch to Polka. The flavours invoke a sunny afternoon in a meadow, surrounded by flowers and the buzzing of honeybees.
The Brains Behind It
Born on The Back of A Napkin
It all started at dinner in 2017. Childhood friends Paul, Vianney and Thibault were chatting about artisanal gins one evening as they drank a digestif together. Paul, a beekeeper, Vianney, a restaurateur, and Thibault, a mixologist bartender, were all pretty passionate about the subject, and within a few hours, had decided to bring all of their unique skills together to create their own. In 2018, they brought their vision to life and created their first spirit, Erika Dry Gin.
