To make Sipsmith vodka, Sipsmith charge their Prudence still with English barley neutral spirit hydrated to 60-65% alc./vol. and then distil employing all five plates in Prudence's fractional distillation column.

After a head of around 2% of the run has been discarded, the first 40% of the heart is collected to make Sipsmith vodka. (The second part of heart is kept for re-distillation to make Sipsmith gin.) The vodka comes off the still at around 89% alc./vol. and only 5 micron passive filter pads are used prior to reducing to bottling strength with Lydwell Spring water.
