WHITE CLAW™ VODKA
MASTER BLENDER

ANDRES FAUSTINELLI

For two decades, our master blender traveled the planet like a surfer chasing the perfect swell. He was possessed with an idea for filtering spirits a new way, with pressure as powerful as gigantic ocean waves.

Born in Venezuela and raised in Italy, Andres had experimented with everything from cristalino to cognac, muscat to mezcal. Then in 2014, while living in San Francisco, he took a gamble and unleashed his high-pressure filtration idea on the most unlikely spirit: vodka. It had citrus notes in the front, grilled sweet corn aroma in the middle, and a rich and velvety, unparalleled finish. “This kind of complexity was something no one else was bringing to the minimalist experience of vodka,” Andres says.

Building on White Claw's history of innovation and technical knowhow, he joined a team that perfected the process for Triple Wave Filtrated White Claw Premium Vodka. Today Andres is 100% focused on redefining the alcohol beverage industry by building relevant, true, and innovative craft brands that connect people and challenge the status quo. With White Claw, he didn't just ride the next wave of vodka. He helped create a giant new one.
