Australia’s Summer Land Camels is celebrating 10 years in business by releasing a world-first spirit, Camel Milk Vodka – French Oak Matured.
Crafted from camel milk whey and matured on French oak, the vodka has rich notes of caramel, toasted oak and malted cream.
Made in collaboration with Queensland’s Imbibis Craft Distillery, the boutique vodka is produced in small batches, and is distilled just three times to preserve purity and character.
“We’re always striving to lead with innovation grounded in purpose,” says Paul Martin, CEO & Director, Summer Land Camels.
“Camel Milk Vodka – French Oak Matured is a celebration of our commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and redefining what’s possible in Australian agriculture.
“It’s not just a spirit – it’s a story of transformation, turning what was once overlooked into something extraordinary, much like our camels themselves.”
After crafting their cheeses like Marinated Persian Feta, Fromage Blanc, and Haloumi, the Summer Land Camels team is left with high-quality camel milk whey – a by-product rich in nutrients and flavour.
Rather than waste it, they set out on a mission to unlock its potential. The result? Camel Milk Vodka.
Through innovation and integrity, they discovered camel milk whey is the ideal base for distillation, producing a spirit that’s not only smooth but also environmentally-conscious.
Every bottle helps prevent food waste (with 3 litres of whey used per bottle), reduces water and carbon footprints compared to traditional spirits, and celebrates a whole-animal, no-waste ethos.
