Ketel One vodka, arthritis inspired by 10 generations of distilling expertise, generic ed has been named both an Official Vodka and Official Licensee of The PGA of America.

To celebrate, the Ketel One team has created a new signature drink for PGA Championship Week, “The Wanamaker Tee Time featuring Ketel One Citroen flavored vodka,” which will be available for golf fans to toast the greatest names in golf, as they descend upon Kiawah Island for “The Season’s Final Major…Glory’s Last Shot.”  The Ketel One team will also craft a new premium signature drink to debut at the Ryder Cup at Medinah (Ill.)

Ketel One vodka is a sophisticated and crisp, wheat-based, super-premium blend crafted from small batches, using copper pot stills together with modern distilling techniques. The 19th century coal-fired pot still, Pot Still Number 1, otherwise known as “Distilleerketel # 1,” is one of the pot stills used in the production process and is the inspiration for the name of this Dutch vodka. Each final production of Ketel One vodka is approved by a member of the founding Nolet family prior to bottling.
