Holy Grass
Holy Grass Apple Vodka 41.5% 70cl
- Details
The Dunnet Bay Distillery is based in Caithness - it's the most Northerly gin distillery on the mainland of Scotland. It was founded in 2014 by Martin Murray, who previously worked in the oil and gas industries but had a love of brewing and distilling thanks to his scientific background. HIs wife Claire runs the marketing side of the business, and long-term employee Hannah works as a gardener in a small geodome, experimenting with growing botanicals in what would otherwise be a harsh and unforgiving climate.
Although the gin range is named 'Rock Rose', their vodkas are branded 'Holy Grass', another name for sweetgrass or bisongrass, that forms a key botanical for their base spirit. The core Holy Grass vodka has a lovely silky texture with a slightly floral sweetness thanks to that grass type, which then works beautifully with an vapour infusion of crisp green apples, a flavour profile inspired by the apple trees in Martin's grandfather's garden.
The balance is excellent - the apple profile has a sweet-tart note softened with the sweetgrass but still shining through. It's superb with an off-dry Vermouth or as a long drink with a good quality lemonade!
