Our
History
Edward
Goring
In 1728 Edward was born to Edmund and Vanessa Goring near Southwark, London.
A successful businessman, he began to master the art of distilling vodka, and in 1770 he built the original Goring Distillery. The site he built is where we still produce our vodka to this day.
Goring started as he meant to go on — by sourcing the finest possible ingredients. This attention to detail and high quality grain has earned Goring’s the recognition as the finest of Vodkas. By 1850 Goring’s had started to make its way to all corners of the world.
His passion for quality vodka is still at the heart of Goring Vodka.
Southwark, London
In Goring’s London, Southwark was well known for its excellent, clean water supply. To take advantage of this, Edward secured a prime, central location for his distillery, with great access to this vital resource in vodka production.
The beautiful local waters help provide the distinctive, clean taste that makes Goring Premium Vodka the drink that has been loved for over 250 years. Our modern factory stands on the same ground at Edward’s original, and we still use the local water, following the same Goring recipe.
Why change a classic?

Today
Obviously a lot has changed since Edward set up Goring Vodka, but at our heart we’re the same company.
Goring Premium Vodka now has a global reputation as the finest of Vodkas, and can be found anywhere in the world you could want a good drink.
Goring still continues to spread, and bring Edward’s attention to detail to every bottle we produce.
