Vestal Black Cherry Vodka, 70 cl

Product Information

These are pressed and infused into the vodka for four days to impart their flavour (and gentle pink-orange hue) and the berry flavour bursts through the finished drink. Vestal — a loose translation of virgin or new potatoes — sources their potatoes from the Kaszebe and Podlasie regions of northern Poland, harvests them young to retain flavor then distills them once in a column still or a hybrid pot-column still.

The nose is lightly fruity, with hints of the sharp-sweet juiciness of pomegranate, but the rosemary is more prevalent, with clean, aromatic, refreshing top notes. At Christmas, go for festive Turkish delight vodka , while tangy marmalade vodka works all year round. He also offers some good-natured sarcasm: “As for distillation — there’s a famous Swedish company that I won’t name. It’s delightful and I’d look to add it to a glass of fizz or make use of that marvellous aroma in a cocktail to best enjoy it. The strawberries add enjoyable sweetness without any added sugar and it’s undeniably a great summer drink – fans of Pimm's are sure to enjoy, and it’s great for Wimbledon season.

Somewhat surprisingly, the essential element here is of blueberries, namely blueberry muffins, with a slightly cake-y edge on the fruit. Very cherry mouthfeel without the overpowering sweetness that is characteristic of cherry liqueurs - the vodka offers brings a touch of dryness.

Herefordshire potato farmer William Chase set up Chase Distillery after enjoying the success of his earlier venture, Tyrrells crisps.Orange marmalade, orange zest, a bit of juice and more sweet marmalade assail you in the most glorious manner. The resulting drinks are lower alcohol options (30% ABV) but can be used just like full-strength vodkas – take your pick of serving with tonic, soda or lemonade. A double gold winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this rich Polish potato vodka is made from a single distilling process, to keep the signature potato base flavour and characteristics intact. Starting fresh and zingy, but without any harsh menthol edge, it then reveals a soft, sweet melon note as it finishes and has a final coolness when you exhale. Not painfully spicy, but definitely warming – and an obvious contender for bloody marys or bull shots.

It's currently buried deep at the back of the nuclear bunker which comprises our warehouse, and nobody quite remembers the code to shut off the killer robots guarding that part of the complex, so please give us an extra day or two to ship this to you.We also tried and enjoyed the intensely jammy Virtuous raspberry and bitter lemon, which balances sweet, aromatic lemon with a touch of bitterness for an essence of marmalade. It does have clear fragrant vanilla sweetness (but there’s no added sugar), with almost butterscotch notes yet simple freshness. The crisp green apple flavours come through first, with their tart notes balanced by warming spice from ginger. To find the best flavoured vodka, we tested each one neat, before mixing with soda and lemonade, to experience the different flavour profiles. It’s tart and sweet and works well as a very cold shot, with Coke for a cherry cola riff or even as part of an espresso martini, where it becomes more of a black forest variation.
