Summum Vodka is distilled from French wheat sourced from the Beauce region, the fertile agricultural plain south of Paris — producing a clean, slightly sweet grain spirit. The wheat is distilled in a multiple-plate copper column still at the Cognac distillery to achieve maximum purity of the neutral spirit. Water is then added in three separate stages during the finishing process, with two-week resting periods between each addition — allowing the spirit and water to fully integrate and mellow before the next step. This time-intensive approach is modelled on artisanal cognac production philosophy rather than standard vodka production. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Summum Vodka is produced at a distillery in Cognac, France, on the banks of the Charente River — an establishment dating to 1814. The production is led by master distiller Patrick Giudicelli, who has handcrafted spirits at the Cognac site for over 30 years. 'Summum' is Latin for summit or pinnacle, reflecting the brand's positioning as the highest expression of what a cognac region distillery can achieve with vodka production. The vodka draws on the Cognac region's deep heritage of artisanal spirits production but applies those traditions to wheat-based neutral spirit rather than grape brandy.
