Vodka

Terrific authentic Russian vodka made with a mix of wheat and rye, and filtered through charcoal made from the stones of peaches and apricots. A great all-rounder, good from the freezer or in cocktails.

A fruit vodka from Absolut, combining tangy Acai berries with pomegranate and bluberry for a zingy spirit.

A litre bottle of Smirnoff's zingy citrus vodka.

This premium variant of Smirnoff is pot-distilled and filtered through seven tons of charcoal in a painstaking production process designed to produce a vodka of rare purity.

Best known as a duty-free fave, Smirnoff Blue adds an extra kick to any vodka cocktail.

Wisniowka by Polmos Jezefow is an outstanding medium-sweet traditional Polish cherry vodka infused with the juice and other extracts of cherries. No decent bar should be without it.

This Starka is an aged Russian vodka, filtered through birch charcoal and quartz sands and enhanced with port, brandy and fruit essences. Best served well chilled.

Skyy's great American vodka infused with the flavour of exotic passion fruit.

An excellent sweet tea infused vodka, made at the Firefly distillery in South Carolina and perfect for long drinks.

Flavoured with pear, strawberry and mint, Aivy (pronounced 'eye-vee') has a tasty complexity of flavour and is best served well chilled, in Caiparoskas, or on the rocks. 'French Bay' vodka is a translation of Franska Bukten in Stockholm, where creators Cariel came up with Aivy.

A replacement for the now-departed Stolichnaya Cristall, this double-distilled Stoli is fantastically smooth yet delightfully characterful and complex.

An old 1990s bottling of lemon flavoured vodka from ace Russian brand Moskovskaya.

Having originally benefited from a major marketing spend, Russian Standard Platinum has gone from strength to strength. Pop it in the freezer for a delicious frozen shot.

A heavyweight Stoli- at a whopping 50% it's not for the fainthearted. For a vodka of this power it's unbelievably smooth, especially when served ice-cold.

A unique aged Polish vodka liqueur, only 4000 bottles are produced per year, with 500 going to the president of Poland for diplomatic gifts. Miodula is flavoured with honey, vanilla and other herbs.

A special edition from Absolut, named for the fact that every bottle in the range is 'unique' - each has a numbered label and the same bottle shape, but other than that they are painted with different colours and shapes making each one different.

Please note that due to the nature of the bottle yours will not look like the one in the picture.

A Polish plum brandy distilled from fresh plums and fortified with the addition of neutral spirits, Sliwowica is aged for years in oak barrels and is a Polish institution.

Slightly tart, slightly sweet with a very pure fruit flavour. Really delicious in a caipiroska.

Fashioned with the feijoa, a native New Zealand fruit. The marketing stuff says guava & pineapple flavours, however I must admit my first impressions of the nose were more akin to Deep Heat / surgical spirit! Still, curiously attractive and as with all 42 Below stuff, made to very high production specifications.

"We force bees to exclusively collect raw materials from the fragrant blossoms of the Manuka tree, to produce a rich Manuka Honey essence which is then infused into pure 42 Below vodka. These bees don't really get paid and often die on the job". More gems like this on wwww.42below.com - highly recommended.
