Nadar Vodka

July 8, 2025
TL;DR: Nàdar Vodka is a crisp, climate-positive vodka made from peas. It delivers a vegetal, blanco tequila-like profile with green, briny aromatics and a peppery finish. More than just a sustainable spirit, it’s a bold and distinctive option for drinkers looking to break away from the neutral norm.
Nàdar Vodka flips the script on traditional vodka by putting peas at the center of both its production and its purpose. As the world’s first climate-positive vodka, it’s made using a base of peas, an ingredient that not only captures nitrogen, but also results in a strikingly unique flavor profile. On the nose, you’ll find leafy, green aromas with a briny, slightly fermented edge and a mineral note that calls to mind wet stones. There’s even a faint echo of blanco tequila, with green pepper and herbal tones. The palate is slippery and lean, starting soft but quickly building into capsaicin heat, astringency, and a peppery, almost spicy finish. Nàdar isn’t your everyday vodka—it’s a conversation starter that drinks like a bridge between vodka and agave spirits. Edgy and eco-conscious, it’s a bold pour for those who like their spirits with purpose and personality.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Clear
- Aroma: Leafy and briny with a distinctly green edge, the nose opens with notes of fresh-cut herbs, green pepper, and a lightly fermented tang. Hints of wet stone and a subtle agave-like lift recall a young blanco tequila, giving it a crisp, vegetal complexity.
- Taste & Mouthfeel: Silky and slippery on entry, the palate leans grassy and herbal, with a subtle sweetness quickly overtaken by capsaicin heat. An astringent mid-palate builds to a dry, spicy finish, leaving a clean yet assertive impression. Bold and unconventional, it’s vodka for the agave-curious.
- Overall Drinkability & Balance: Nàdar Vodka surprises with a bold, vegetal character and a finish that flirts with spice. It’s not your average vodka—and that’s the point. It brings texture, complexity, and a bright, briny snap, all while delivering impressive environmental credentials. For flavor-seekers and eco-conscious drinkers, it’s a win-win.
