The Oxfordshire Craft Distillery diversifies with an “elegant” new spirit.

The Oxfordshire based Sky Wave Distilling Company is branching out to launch its first vodka, which is already receiving incredible reviews.

Sky Wave Triple Distilled Vodka 40% ABV has been described as “a fine sipping vodka” by drinks industry experts, The International Drinks Specialists.  It was awarded the incredibly high rating of 94 out of 100, securing its place as a premium vodka. It has also been described as a ‘game-changer’ by the renowned David T. Smith.

Tasting notes from The International Drinks Specialists highlight the fine qualities of this stunning new expression.

“Clean, fresh and inviting on the nose with a lovely and gentle but elegant vanilla, fine grain aromas and some white almond backed by soft fruity notes. Soft and mellow on the palate, medium bodied, fresh and clean in the delivery. The alcohol is nicely integrated making this a potential candidate for a fine sipping vodka or a great base for dry vodka martinis and many other drinks.”

The Sky Wave Distilling Company has a long-standing reputation for crafting premium, artisan spirits, having already garnered more than 74 international awards including Double Masters, Gold and Silver at the Gin Masters awards and just last month was named The Distillery of the Year in The Gin Guide Awards.

Sky Wave Triple Distilled Vodka was exclusively launched at Nocturne Live staged in the Great Court of Blenheim Palace this June. Sky Wave spirits, which are all made with Blenheim Palace Natural Mineral Water, was the exclusive Gin and Vodka Partner at the prestigious four day music event which features, Sheryl Crow, Chaka Khan and the Sugababes in this year’s line up. The distillery is a close neighbour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The move into vodka was due to continual customer demand.

“Our customers kept asking when were we going to create a vodka? So here is it! I am incredibly proud of our carefully developed recipe which delivers a smooth, creamy taste, partly helped by the use of Blenheim Palace Natural Mineral Water but also the slow, gentle distillation.  We are famous at Sky Wave for our subtlety, and this is a smooth, subtle, delightful vodka. What better place to launch a fine vodka than at a spectacular party under the stars, Nocturne Live.” says Sky Wave Master Distiller, Andrew Parsons.
