British Vodka

When it comes to spirits, Britain is traditionally synonymous with gin and whisky. However, in recent years, vodka has found a new home in the British Isles, with distilleries crafting distinctive spirits. British vodkas often incorporate local ingredients like potato, wheat or barley which reflect their geographical origin. One of the pioneers was Chase in Herefordshire which has been making a highly-distinctive potato vodka since 2008. Other notable vodka is Muse X from Scotland which is made from malted barley like a signal malt whisky. The best British vodkas are full of character, a world away from the spirit’s neutral image. No wonder they are increasingly popular with bartenders looking to make distinctive cocktails.
