Holy Grass Vodka by Dunnet Bay Distillery

Win a Bottle of Holy Grass Vodka by Dunnet Bay Distillery Worth £34

Rock Rose vodka

I have another beautiful bottle from Dunnet Bay Distillery to giveaway to one lucky winner (you lucky devils, you)!

This time it’s the truly unique, Holy Grass Vodka, which is hand-crafted in the far North of Scotland. It’s the most recent release from the multi-award winning Dunnet Bay Distillery in Caithness and it features the unusual botanical Holy Grass, once discovered on the banks of the nearby Thurso River by Robert Dick.

Here are some top facts about this top tipple:

Holy Grass, so-called as it was once used to bring a sweet, vanilla smell to church floors, brings a wonderful and distinct herbaceous flavour to this vodka.

A celebration of local produce and ingredients, the spirit is also infused with a carefully crafted vapour of Highland apples and apple juice, to complement the sweetness of the Holy Grass. The result is a delicate and fresh vodka with a creamy smooth finish

The craft vodka is carefully distilled by husband and wife team, Martin and Claire Murray, who have devised a secret and completely unique way to distil the vodka, using Elizabeth, their traditional copper pot still, and Caithness stone.
