Black Cow Vodka

Black Cow was created by Jason Barber and Paul Archard, through a trial and error process that they claim took about five years. The vodka is made using whey, as it is high in lactose and sugars to convert to alcohol with a specific yeast that will react with lactose. The product is triple filtered, including through a carbon made from coconut husk. After distillation, the product comes out at 48% ABV, at which point they process the liquid into Black Cow Vodka. In total, of milk are required to make of vodka. Black Cow Vodka has made deals to be stocked in Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer and Majestic Wine, ==Awards==

Black Cow Vodka won a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition in 2015. The vodka is championed by the likes of Mark Hix, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Kirstie Allsopp. == Advertising ==

In 2017, Black Cow Vodka had three of its adverts banned by the Advertising Standards Authority. One advert was a shot for shot parody of the 1989 "Accrington Stanley, Who Are They?" milk advert, including the original actor, Carl Rice. However, the ASA stated the advert encouraged excessive drinking. Barber embraced the additional publicity the complaint gave the vodka. Indeed, the adverts being banned led to an increase in sales and BBC coverage in Countryfile and Farming Today. == References ==
