Q&A with Patrick Shelley of Kalak Vodka

In this week’s Q&A, Kehlan talks with Patrick Shelley from Kalak Vodka. Kalak Vodka is a new premium Irish vodka and Patrick explains how they are developing it for a global market.

So where does the story of Kalak Vodka begin?

The story starts about three years ago. I had spent 15 years in the luxury goods market particularly with Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy Group which is the largest luxury goods group in the world. In that time I was exposed to a lot of high-end luxury spirits and wine brands. I always had in the back of my mind that I would like to do that one day: create a top quality spirit.
