The Spirit of Manchester Distillery, home to Manchester Gin, has secured the prestigious Vodka Master upon the release of their first vodka, Manchester Spirit – Grain Vodka.

Manchester Spirit Vodka was created for use in cocktails in Manchester Gin’s premium cocktail bar, Three Little Words. Intended to be smooth, clean and versatile, it is a refreshing and modern vodka designed to work effortlessly in the bar’s creative cocktail menu.

The botanical grain vodka has wowed judges at the Spirits Masters and received the highest award of Vodka Master alongside, and even outperforming, long-established premium brands.

This award-winning drink is a delightfully smooth yet well balanced pure grain vodka which is traditionally distilled in bespoke copper stills.

Like Manchester Gin, the vodka stays faithful to the distillers’ handcrafted ethos and is distilled, bottled and labelled in the city. The product’s versatility and unique branding give a modern take on the traditional vodka products we are used to seeing.

On the nose, enjoy Bergamot, Earl Grey tea and a hint of caramel, unpinned by waxy citrus aromas. On the palate, a warm orange taste is followed by a combination of creamy almond and candied lemon.

Complementing these dominant flavours are subtle notes of sweet white pear and the fresh taste of East Asian citrus fruit, yuzu. This delicate, creamy tipple makes for the perfect short drink over ice or paired with a light tonic and lemon twist for a refreshing, longer version. It also shines in cocktails and is an essential addition to any vodka lover’s collection.

With vodka being the base of some of the most popular cocktails drunk in Manchester’s bars and restaurants, Master Distillers and Manchester Gin founders, Jen Wiggins and Seb Heeley set out to create their own vodka for use in Three Little Words.

“We are very proud of Manchester Gin and love to work with it in cocktails – creating Manchester Spirit Vodka has been an exciting next step and has been great fun. The vodka has been wonderfully received in Three Little Words as it has delicate characteristics that make it perfect for blending behind the bar.

“To have received this incredible award from one of the world’s most respected spirits authorities and to be placed amongst some of the greats in spirits production is very exciting! There’s a huge variety of premium vodkas out there and it’s been fantastic to bring our own unique spirit to the market.”
