6. Barra Hebridean Vodka
From Scotland’s far-flung western edge comes Barra Hebridean Vodka, a small-batch spirit triple-distilled from grain and limited to batches of just 100 bottles. It achieves exceptional smoothness while capturing a hint of the island’s maritime soul through the infusion of carrageen seaweed. On the nose, it’s refined and delicate, carrying whispers of sea air and soft grain sweetness. The palate is silky and balanced, evoking the clean freshness of the Hebridean coast. A long, crisp finish leaves a gentle sea-inspired note that lingers beautifully.
7. Mermaid Salt Vodka
An excellent way to bring the taste of the ocean to your tastebuds. This Mermaid Salt Vodka is shot through with a vein of locally-sourced sea salt from the Isle of Wight Distillery. This vodka is grain distilled, hand-crafted using its column still which is then blended with Isle of Wight spring water. It lies at 40% abv.
Created in small batches, each step of the process is designed to give a wonderfully smooth taste, a gentle profile that breathes a deep character of sea salt into any mixed drink.
