The Lancaster Spirits Company has launched two new products, English Grain Vodka and Firecracker Gin. The “grain-to-glass” distillery is a producer of small-batch gin and vodka. The gin features notes of evergreen, citrus, spices and timber while the vodka contains hints of wheat, peppery spice and tones of chocolate. Phil Simpson, MD of The Lancaster Spirits Company said: ‘’We’ve taken our time to get our spirits right. Eighteen months of recipe tweaks, plant investment, trials and blind tastings to create a gin and a vodka that exceed our stringent quality standards. “Every ingredient has been chosen with balance and harmony in mind. We are sure our customers will appreciate the great lengths we’ve gone to ensure the unique provenance of every element of the spirits we craft.” The Firecracker Gin and English Grain Vodka are both 40% ABV and available in 70cl bottles at a RRP of £38.00 and a RRP of £27.00 for a 50cl bottle.
