The idea of vodka Neft was born back in the 1970s, but was only realized in the 2000s.
Looking for a place to make “super high-quality status vodka for smart and efficient people” (this is how the drink is positioned), the former oil workers settled at the Freihof enterprise, which has been producing strong alcohol in the small village of Lustenau since 1885.
The assortment of the Austrian company includes cognacs, liqueurs, brandy, which are of high quality and exceptional naturalness. The plant itself has repeatedly become the owner of the titles “World Class Distillery” and “Master Class Distillery”.
Initially, the brand was launched as a drink for personal consumption and treating friends, but gradually turned into a successful commercial project. Today Neft vodka can be bought in the USA, many European and Asian countries, including Russia.
