Sampling The New Welsh Witch ‘Lammas’ Vodka – Spellbindingly Good!

Jade Garston & the new Welsh vodka named Lammas!

Award-winning Welsh distillery Wild Moon is expanding its range of Premium Spirits with a unique Vodka!

Based in Wrexham, North Wales, the distillery was founded by Jade Garston, our Welsh Witch has been brewing up a new vodka bursting with natural flavours. Inspired by Welsh pagan folklore, this vodka is the 6th premium spirit to be released by the distillery.

The new vodka named Lammas after the next phase of the Wheel of the Year celebrates the first grain harvest, a time for gathering in and giving thanks for the abundance of crops.

The family run distillery has been creating spirits since 2019

The family run distillery has been creating spirits since 2019 and with 3 of their spirits recognised and awarded by the Great taste awards amongst other awards bodies, Jade and the team have high hopes for their new triple distilled vodka.

The Wild Moon distillery is the only distillery that is female owned and inspired by the lunar cycle. The new vodka is made using distilled Welsh water from the Ffynnon Beuno Welsh mountains, tying in with Celtic paganism roots of the Welsh Witch Spirit collection. Their process involved trickling the vodka through reiki charged crystals such as aquamarine, amethyst and moonstone crystals for energy cleansing to balance and complete the process. Each bottle is hand-corked and waxed in a distinct apothecary style that the brand is known for.

Our new vodka is an exciting addition to our collection, it’s been in the making for some time and we’re really pleased to launch it to the public.

We’re passionate about constantly creating new drinks that people love and all of our spirits have their own unique processes to make them stand out from the crowd. Being hand crafted in small batches in our North Wales distillery means we can ensure care and attention to every detail and we can remain true to our values.

We’re excited to see what our customers think of our new vodka, I love our new vodka and my mixer of choice is a refreshing botanical cola.

You’ll start seeing our vodka in bars and pubs around you soon, sitting proudly alongside our gins and rums, I can’t wait, it’s a really exciting time for the Wild Moon Distillery

Welsh Witch products are distilled using Welsh water, then bottled, labelled and hand-waxed in our very own Wild Moon Distillery in North Wales.

Jade Garston’s passion for excellent flavours, nature and all things witchy was a marriage perfect to brew her Welsh Witch magic. Starting with their signature gin in December 2019, the brand has gone from strength to strength, becoming a staple spirit in may bars and restaurants around Wales and surrounding areas.

I’ve been lucky enough to try the new vodka and many thanks to Wild Moon (@welshwitch_craftspirits) for sending me a very generous sample – a whole bottle no less!

So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

Tasting Notes – Welsh Witch Lammas Vodka (40%)

Welsh Witch products are distilled using Welsh water, then bottled, labelled and hand-waxed in our very own Wild Moon Distillery in North Wales.

The distillery uses folklore inspired botanicals and bases their products around the Celtic Pagan Wheel of the Year.

Nose: Powerfully herby and botanical with sweet lemon and shades of sherbet.

Palate: Sweet lemon, herby, spicy with hints of liquorice.
Adding ice gives it a fresh crispness and astringent quality.
Mixing with Tonic gives a long, refreshing, sweeter, lighter drink.

Overall: A very morish Vodka with some great flavours – a big contrast to some of the other one-dimensional vodkas that are out there – often easily forgotten – Lammas, on the other hand, will always keep you coming back for more!
