About
Born from a serendipitous spark between British music legend Dave Stewart and Swedish entrepreneur Johan Holgersson, Poetry Vodka is where creativity meets craftsmanship
In 2022, over a shared vision and a love for the perfect vodka martini, Dave and Johan set out to craft a spirit as bold and free-spirited as the artists it celebrates. Inspired by Dave’s ritual of sipping a martini at 7:48 PM to unleash his poetic musings, Poetry Vodka is a tribute to those moments where inspiration flows.
Handcrafted in Poland by a third-generation family distillery, our vodka blends wheat and a hint of rye for a smooth, slightly sweet finish with a whisper of marzipan. Each bottle is a canvas, designed to spark creativity in free spirits everywhere - whether you’re mixing a martini or toasting to life’s wild moments. From Dave’s 70th birthday bash in Sunderland to a lively distillery party in Poland, Poetry Vodka embodies the joy of connection and the thrill of creation.
With Dave’s boundless energy and Johan’s sharp business acumen, we’ve navigated stolen shipments, trademark hurdles, and even rerouted bottles to the Bahamas. Poetry Vodka isn’t just a drink—it’s a vibe, a story, a celebration of art and authenticity. Join us, sip the poetry, and let your imagination run wild.
