Black Cow was created by Jason Barber and Paul Archard, through a trial and error process that took approximately five years.
[1] Barber had been inspired by the drink Araka, an alcoholic form of fermented mare's milk used by Genghis Khan and his armies.
[2] Due to their unique process, the brand claims to be the only vodka in the world made entirely from milk products.
[6] Black Cow Vodka won a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition in 2015.
[8] Indeed, the adverts being banned led to an increase in sales and BBC coverage in Countryfile and Farming Today.
