Brand owner Blavod Drinks says the new taste is aimed to ‘intrigue vodka drinkers, adding a new depth of flavour to what is a usually considered a plain spirit’.
The botanical vodka is created from undergoing a bonification process after distillation. This process involves infusing the vodka with botanicals to create a smooth and rounded taste. This method is rarely used in the production of vodka. However, Blavod says this technique adds ‘a complexity of flavours to the taste’.
Kate Alexander, marketing manager at Blavod, said: “We’re really excited about the new Blackwoods Botanical Vodka, the added depth from the bonification process gives it a really interesting taste you can’t find anywhere else.”
The packaging of Blackwoods new Botanical Vodka has also been updated along with Blackwoods 40% and 60% gin. Available in the UK in early February 2014 retailing at £24.50. The vodka will be exported globally.
