It is made from pure British grain spirit and a blend of lemon, coriander seed and cassia bark, using the London Dry distillation process.

My idea was that, as nobody had done a single malt vodka before, it was worth giving it a go,” he said. Take your sugar cube and infuse it with a couple of dashes of Angostura aromatic bitters. Tip your modest measure of Ogilvy vodka into the flute glass, then top it up with a decent helping of champagne.By launching equally-sophisticated spirits such as Tullibardine, Valt and Edinburgh Gin in Asda stores across Scotland, it will now mean that more consumers than ever before can enjoy a truly Scottish drinking experience.” The term single malt does raise the assumption that the spirit is made from whisky but it is actually made 100 per cent from Scottish-grown malted barley. Vodka is considered to be the world's best mixer, it will quite literally go with anything, don't believe us? Feel free to experiment for yourself (within reason of course). Vodka makes up around 35 per cent of our spirit intake – while both blended whisky (13 per cent) and gin (7 per cent) make up around 20 per cent of the market. One thing to point out is these small batch releases will vary slightly each year, depending on the annual harvest of the grass. Each bottle is hand-waxed, numbered, and signed before leaving the distillery.

And though this is mainly down to sales from the big multinationals, small batch producers, like those in the gin industry, are now beginning to make their mark. To achieve this, we sought the unique skills of Scottish distillers and insisted on using only Scottish malted barley and mountain water. However, no suitable distillation method existed, so we had to invent an entirely new process. We developed a quintuple micro-distillation technique that was decidedly untraditional, just for us. Keeping alcoholic beverages in mind, Scottish craft beer and artisanal gin are two fast growing industries. Now Scottish vodka seems to be catching up as producers create bottlings with their unique twist on the spirit.Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Italy and Germany are strong export markets for us although we initially had a lot of resistance in Russia. Surely fans of craft beer are familiar with BrewDog. Established in Aberdeen in 2007 by two passionate Scots, BrewDog has since become one of the most successful craft brewing companies in the world.
