Kevin Larkai, Blackleaf Vodka

Blackleaf Organic Vodka is the creation of Washington, DC resident, Kevin Larkai. He met Bertrand Laclie by chance while vacationing in Cognac (France) and they bonded over a shared passion for the creation of premium consumer experiences. They decided to make an organic and environment-friendly spirit through the lens of style and elegance, which birthed the premium + organic theme that remains at the heart of Blackleaf Vodka today. Kevin’s goal is to truly redefine the experience of drinking -- he is passionate about shaping the consumer product brands of the future and creating quality products that also look beautiful.

Blackleaf Vodka uses organic winter wheat that is untouched by pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Their wheat remains organic from the moment it is planted until it’s harvested, earning it a USDA-NOP organic certification. Plus, the brand is made with spring water naturally filtered through champagne limestone. The unique taste of this water lends to Blackleaf’s bold character.
