The distillery, which is situated within the far north of Scotland and run by husband and spouse crew, Martin and Claire Murray, specialises in probably the most premium, hand-crafted spirits that commemorate native substances and botanicals. And, this new addition isn’t any exception having been impressed by the abundance of apples within the backyard of Martin’s grandad.
It superbly balances the grassy sweetness of Holy Grass (a botanical recognized for its vanilla-like aroma) with the contemporary, barely tart essence of apples. On the palate, scrumptious juicy inexperienced apples take centre stage with a background of clean vanilla notes bringing a delicate sweetness, while the end leaves you with lasting notes of apple and vanilla. The result’s a velvety clean, fragrant vodka with a light-weight, fruity end, good for sipping neat, with lemonade, or to get inventive with in cocktails.
Martin Murray, Co-Founder, says, “We launched our Holy Grass Vodka in 2016 as a tribute to Robert Dick, a legendary botanist from Tullibody, who lived in Thurso within the 1800s and found Holy Grass. It’s a spirit that actually captures and celebrates the heritage of Caithness and its native botanicals and so we’re thrilled to be extending the Holy Grass portfolio with the launch of this new apple version. It’s a deliciously crisp and candy spirit that provides vodka lovers a very new and fruity style expertise.”
