An ocean-inspired vodka has taken center stage at the 2024 Alaska Symphony of Seafood, winning Top Honors for Innovation and the Beyond the Plate Award. Crafted by Uncharted Alaska Distillery, the briney Alaskan vodka blends the natural umami of sugar kelp with traditional distillation methods, creating a smooth, slightly briny flavour perfect for both sipping neat or elevating your favourite cocktails.
This kelp vodka hails from the heart of Ketchikan, Alaska, where an unexpected duo - two former policemen - are redefining the spirits market with a unique twist. Their creation, Holdfast Kelp Vodka, isn’t just another bottle on the shelf, it’s an innovative spirit distilled from Alaskan sugar kelp, and it’s quickly becoming a must-try for adventurous drinkers.

For eco-conscious consumers, Holdfast Kelp Vodka checks all the boxes. Made with sustainably farmed sugar kelp (shown right) sourced from local company Seagrove Kelp, the vodka not only supports Alaska’s marine ecosystem but also reduces the environmental impact of production. As Uncharted Distillery co-founder Travis Robbins says, "We’re able to use Alaska products wholly and keep it in-house, which benefits everyone."
Beyond its environmental appeal, the vodka’s flavour profile offers something truly distinct. Think oceanic freshness with a clean finish, a natural fit for seafood pairings or innovative martinis.
