The Smoothest Essex Vodka
Have you heard the one about the award-winning, Essex-based artisanal gin company that sounds like a certain TV show, but makes the most delicious, silky smooth vodka?
We’re not joking - that’s us!
Our Signature Vodka is the purest and original form of the spirit, and is lovingly made from French wheat grain.
It’s perfect to sip either served over ice with a splash of your favourite mixer, or as part of luxurious cocktails, and is also 100% vegan and gluten-free.
A bottled history of vodka
Depending on who you ask (or what you ask Google), the Russians were the first to produce vodka - known as ‘vodička’ which translates as ‘little water’ - distilled possibly from potatoes in around the 9th century.
In roughly 1430, a monk named Isidore from Moscow’s Chudov monastery used his knowledge of distillation to create the recipe for a new, higher quality type of spirit. The story of vodka had begun.
Over the centuries, Russian nobles began to produce large quantities of vodka, using charcoal to purify it. Today it is the world’s best-known and most widely enjoyed spirit, with around 16.4 million litres sold in the UK alone. Little wonder there’s a growing appetite for artisanal vodka!
Surprisingly, this clear, pure spirit can be made from a range of ingredients including potatoes, fruit and even sugar on its own. Most modern vodkas are created using sorghum, corn, rice, rye or, as in our case, wheat.
Our gluten-free luxury vodka
We think our Signature product is the ultimate expression of luxury vodka: it’s bold, yet has a smooth and creamy taste.
It is lovingly produced from scratch not from potatoes, but from French wheat, and is seven times distilled and carbon filtered. As if that wasn’t tempting enough, thanks to the distillation process, it’s also gluten free.
That’s because even though the vodka is produced using wheat, the heat generated during distillation evaporates the alcohol, leaving a gluten residue behind.
We love to pay attention to the details at our distillery, which means we ensure our added ingredients and flavours are also gluten-free. How’s that for inspiration to raise a glass?
Signature vodka
There is a school of thought that vodka doesn’t have much of a flavour. When it comes to our artisanal, luxury vodka, it couldn’t be further from the truth!
Our Signature Vodka is a clear and clean character-rich premium drink, with hints of almond and black pepper on the nose. It feels and tastes creamy on the tongue with a dryish, spicy and nutty finish.
If you want to experience the ultimate Moscow Mule, then our Signature Vodka is a must-have to create this fruity, feisty cocktail.

Premium Blue Raspberry vodka
Despite the many stereotypes, we couldn’t be more proud of our Essex roots. The county is renowned for its seafood, jam and vineyards - and now our hand-crafted smooth and silky artisanal vodkas.
The Essex region, as well as the Great British countryside, are a constant source of inspiration, so it was only right that we took one of the nation’s favourite fruits and combined it with our Signature vodka.
The result is our Premium Blue Raspberry vodka. This high quality, eye-catching spirit is as funky as its packaging design, and has a sweet, fruity taste.
A heavenly raspberry aroma is the first thing you experience, while there are ripe, rich berries on the palate and a smooth, sweet raspberry taste lingers on the finish. Delicious!
It’s every bit as much of a showstopper when paired with lemonade, garnished with raspberries and mint, served over ice, or blended with mixers to make more fabulous cocktails.
Premium Vanilla Flavoured Vodka
Exceptionally smooth and velvety, with a creamy flavour, our premium vanilla vodka is going to be the flavour of the summer!
It contains no added sugar and is made exclusively from natural ingredients, so you can feel good about every glass.
The initial aroma is all about the vanilla pods (it’s almost like inhaling ice cream) while delicious notes of butterscotch and toffee swirl around your palate.
Serve it either neat or on the rocks and, of course, it’s utterly perfect in a cocktail.
