Hensol Castle Vodka has been created by the UK-based distillery as its first ever vodka that aims to deliver exceptional flavor and quality of new and existing fans to enjoy. The spirit is distilled inside the cellars of the 400-year-old castle where the distillery is situated in Wales and will be available both on and off-trade with the option to purchase it directly from the distillery's website. The spirit features a potato base that has been five-times distilled for a crisp final product and puts Welsh water sourced from the Brecon Beacons in the spotlight.
Managing Director Chris Leeke commented on the Hensol Castle Vodka saying, "We’ve worked incredibly hard over the last few years to create a truly outstanding gin brand that has gone on to win many accolades, and we’re confident that our Hensol Castle vodka range is going to be just as popular. Vodka is one of the most versatile spirits on the market and will forever be a favourite tipple for many, even with other drinks – such as gin and prosecco – rising in popularity."
