Today the brand is produced by Stock Spirits, a company founded in 1884 by Lionello Stock in Trieste, now headquartered and operating a major distillery in Plzeň, Czech Republic. The vodka is triple distilled from a mashbill of 60% whole wheat and 40% triticale — a hybrid grain cross between wheat and rye — which contributes both the soft body typical of wheat vodkas and a subtle cereal depth from the triticale component. The spirit undergoes a multi-step distillation process designed to maximize purity while retaining mild grain character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose is restrained and clean, opening with subtle neutral grain and a faint minerality.

The recipe's lineage to 1882 makes it one of the longer-running vodka formulations still in production, predating many of today's dominant global brands. Produced in Plzeň by Stock Spirits, a distiller with over 140 years of operation, the vodka benefits from established production infrastructure and institutional knowledge.

The Keglevich brand earned Silver medals at the 2022 International Spirits Challenge and the 2021 London Spirits Competition, validating the quality of the overall range. The lower 23% ABV is a deliberate design decision, not a shortcut: it preserves the volatile aromatic compounds in the lemon juice that would otherwise burn off at higher proofs.

The decision to keep production in Plzen, preserving Count Stephan Keglevich's original formula, gives this bottle a heritage story that most flavored vodkas simply cannot match. At 20% ABV, it occupies a useful space between a full-strength vodka and a liqueur, making it one of the more versatile strawberry spirits available.

The base spirit uses a mashbill of 60% wheat and 40% triticale — a hybrid grain crossing rye and durum wheat — and undergoes six separate distillations followed by two filtration phases. This unusually thorough process yields a crystalline spirit with a clean, neutral canvas. A high concentration of real forest berry juice is then blended into the base, giving the liqueur its vivid color and fruit-forward character without relying on artificial colorants. Stock Spirits, the current owner, produces Keglevich at its facility in Plzeň, Czech Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe mixed berries — blackberry and blueberry in particular — lead the nose, followed by a subtle floral sweetness.
