VENUS WINE & SPIRIT MERCHANTS PLC. Vodka

Sapling Vodka, 70cl

Buttery and soft, with a hint of caraway, giving it a herbaceous touch. The high starch content of our wheat also leaves a unique natural sweetness.

Mega yum! Sipsmith boys came up trumps with this one. super silky mouthfeel with notes of lemon barley water and crushed up breakfast cereal from your schooldays. This is followed by a creamy vanilla moment before more lemon and eventually a brief hard-boiled barley sugar with orange rind. Finish is silky and leaves you with a lovely lemon barley note and a desire for more of the same.

Siwucha Vodka, 50cl

Developed to faithfully replicate the vodkas of old through the addition of a portion of unrectified barley spirit, this is perhaps as close as it's possible to (legally) get to real, genuine vodka from the old country
