Gray Whale is synonymous with gin. This award-winning brand got its name from the use of ingredients found along the migratory path of the gray whale along the Pacific coastline. Recently, the brand announced it would branch out beyond juniper-based spirits by launching its first vodka.
Gray Whale Vodka

Aptly called Gray Whale Vodka, this new expression is made with the same reverence for the coast and oceanic conservation as the brand’s popular gin. This small-batch vodka is distilled from grain and California-grown grapes. According to the brand, the result is a sweet, balanced vodka without any additives or added sugar. It’s perfect for your favorite vodka-based cocktails.
“The addition of vodka allows us to introduce Gray Whale Spirits Co. and its commitment to the ocean to a broader audience in on- and off-premise environments,” Mike Dee, President of Deutsch Family Wines & Spirits, says.
“We’re already seeing strong early interest, which reinforces our confidence in the role Gray Whale Vodka will play in the brand’s continued growth. At the core of that momentum is the liquid itself—our outstanding team in California crafted an incredibly unique taste profile that resonates with both new consumers and loyal fans of our gin.”
But that’s not the only news from Gray Whale. Besides the new vodka, the brand has announced a partnership with the Surfrider Foundation, a nonprofit that works to protect the oceans and beaches.
“Ocean conservation and protecting the migratory path of the gray whale have always been at the heart of the Gray Whale brand. Our partnership with Surfrider allows us to bring the brand promise to life in a way that profoundly and positively impacts the ocean and environment,” Dee says.
