Au Vodka isn't just a drinks brand, it's a movement.


Born in Wales and recognised globally, we've redefined what a modern FMCG brand can be. From our iconic gold bottles to boundary-pushing flavours, we've built a brand that stands out, scales fast, and connects with a new generation of consumers.


Our ambition is bold:

We think global, move fast, and build category-defining brands from unexpected places.


Already sold across multiple international markets, we're not just part of the spirits industry,

we're disrupting it.
