The process
Washed in Wagyu. Rested in the cold.
KOYU LONDON has developed one of the world’s first Wagyu Infused Vodkas, combining traditional distillation with an innovative fat-washing process inspired by the finest Wagyu beef. The result is a spirit unlike anything else on the market - luxuriously smooth, exceptionally refined and impossible to compare.

The spirit
A premium British wheat neutral grain spirit is triple distilled to achieve exceptional purity at 96% ABV.
The spirit is then slowly proofed with purified water to a final bottling strength of 40% ABV, preserving its clean character and refined mouthfeel.

The infusion
Separately, premium Wagyu fat is gently rendered into tallow using steam until fully liquefied.
The warm tallow is carefully introduced to the vodka in a controlled fat-washing process, allowing the spirit to absorb the rich buttery compounds and delicate umami characteristics unique to Wagyu.

Rested at minus 27 degrees Celsius for seven days.
The rest
Immediately following incorporation, the spirit is rapidly chilled to −27°C, reaching a semi-frozen state within approximately 10 minutes. It remains at this temperature for 7 days, enabling a slow, controlled infusion that develops depth, texture and complexity while maintaining exceptional clarity.
Following maturation, the vodka is gradually returned to room temperature. As the fat naturally solidifies, it is carefully separated from the spirit, leaving behind only the refined flavour compounds and luxurious mouthfeel.
