Gin has been the drink of the moment for a while now, with everyone raving and praising it for its versatile flavours and potential drinks combinations. It has boomed over the recent years, saturating the market with everything from fruit flavoured gins to confectionary ones.


But its reign has come to an end with vodka standing centre stage. The wide variety available intrigued people, but was this more of a fad with everyone having fun trying all the different options? But when the phase passes, their trusted favourite will still be there.

The main things to look out for to know the quality of your vodka, is what ingredients were used, which would typically be the grains or potatoes used and the distillery process.

Our X MUSE vodka is not just a quality blend, but the first blended barley vodka distilled in Scotland. We chose to use heritage barley as it is the eco-friendlier and more sustainable than using the traditional barley.

Also, Barley carries with it a long history and of course barley is central to spirit-making tradition in Scotland. It is Barley that gives the finest whisky its rootedness, its connection to the elements. We took everything great about the whiskey making process, along with the barely and created X MUSE, which is the first blended vodka to be produced using two heritage varieties, grown in the UK and distilled separately. It is this mix of barleys that give XMUSE its flavour, making it smooth, rich and complex enough for straight-up sipping as well as the essential component part of cocktails and martinis.

Water for us was a big factor within the vodka making process, most spirits contain 60% water but this could be any water, with not much research into the quality or where it is from. This is why we drew the water for X MUSE from the ancient aquifer at Scotland’s Bonnington Estate, where the water is celebrated, and is a physical expression of thankfulness. Water contains a large history, with rocks and minerals, so the water used is purified underground and exalted above ground.

Is vodka now the new gin? There has been a new wave with it once again rising in popularity - not that it ever truly went out of style! Its versatility is its best quality, it can be a refreshing drink paired with soda water, or a sugary, sweet cocktail. There is a combination for everyone and their individual palette.

X MUSE embodies everything vodka is proud to be, with its versatility making it the perfect beverage to have at any occasion.

You can’t deny that gin has been number one on many people's list of favourite drinks for quite some time, but it mainly comes down to its wide variety of flavours on offer. The variety is second to none as well as its versatility, the same goes for the price range, its affordability means everyone can enjoy it.

The great benefit of drinking vodka is that it can be paired with any flavour and mixer, to make a delicious drink. Any combination you can think will most likely work! Just think of the classic bloody Mary, who would’ve thought vodka and hot sauce would go together?
