The Devil of Tasmanian Vodka
Pronounced "triple six," 666 takes its name from the Tasmanian devil — the feisty marsupial found only in Tasmania's wild forests — and its character from one of the purest environments on earth. Producer Pure Distillery Company ferments Tasmanian barley, runs it three times through copper pot stills, charcoal-filters the spirit, and blends it with Cape Grim water before bottling everything in Tasmania. The result made history: the first Australian vodka ever awarded a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, beating an international field of 115 vodkas, and it now pours in top bars from Melbourne to Los Angeles.

Tasting Notes
Crisp and clean on the nose, with malted grain, sweet barley, and hints of marzipan and cookie dough. The palate is velvety smooth and creamy — subtle marshmallow, toasted almond, and vanilla with a whisper of bush pepper and leafy oils — finishing clean, smooth, and warmly robust.
How to Enjoy
Chill it hard and serve it neat in a shot glass alongside oysters or caviar — the classic Australian serve. Its clean profile also makes a superb dirty martini or a jalapeño martini, "just like the devil ordered," and it holds its own in any vodka-forward cocktail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called 666 vodka?It's named for the Tasmanian devil, Tasmania's most famous native animal — pronounced "triple six." The branding leans into the "pure evil" joke, but the vodka itself is about purity: clean air, clean water, clean spirit.
What makes 666 vodka different from other vodkas?Everything is Tasmanian: 100% Tasmanian barley, fermented and triple pot distilled in Tasmania, charcoal filtered, and cut with rainwater from Cape Grim — plus the claim (and the gold medal) that it has no purer rival. Most vodkas can't trace every production stage to one pristine island.
What awards has 666 Pure Tasmanian Vodka won?A Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2010 — the first gold ever awarded to an Australian vodka there — beating an international field of 115 vodkas.
