Welsh Vodka

You might think of vodka as the spirit of Russia and Poland, but vodka production has long surpassed its traditional boundaries, reaching out to different corners of the globe. That includes Wales. In recent years, craft distilleries have popped up all over the picturesque country, with Mallows, Steeltown, Silver Circle and Flawless releasing varied products, from traditional cleaner styles to flavoured editions like Yuzu & Blood Orange or even Black Garlic. Whisky distilleries like Penderyn and In the Welsh Wind have also made vodkas, such as the former’s award-winning Brecon Five Black Vodka. Welsh vodka distilleries tend to emphasise local ingredients and sustainable practices. Its hearty agricultural backbone gives it access to quality produce, like potatoes and grains, which alongside clean, natural water supplies aid the production of vodka. The packaging and branding of Welsh vodka often draws heavily from its Celtic roots.
