- Welsh brand Eccentric Spirit Co launch their first vodka – Cardi Bay Vodka.
- Cardi Bay Vodka is inspired by the gorse which grows along the Ceredigion coastline, and is infused with hints of vanilla and coconut.
Eccentric Spirits, distilled at award-winning Ceredigion distillery, In The Welsh Wind, have expanded their spirits range with the launch of their first Welsh vodka product – Cardi Bay Vodka. From the label to the tasting notes, this Welsh flavoured vodka is inspired by the gorse which grows along the Ceredigion coastline, with a flavour profile infused with hints of coconut and vanilla. Cardi Bay Vodka was launched at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show on the 18th of July this year, and received hugely positive feedback from show goers.
Ellen Wakelam, co-founder and director of In The Welsh Wind Distillery which makes the Eccentric Spirit range said:
“After releasing our Black Batch Rum into our Eccentric Spirits range, we knew that we wanted to launch different spirits within the range, including a flavoured vodka”.
She also explained:
“We wanted the vodka’s botanical profile to celebrate Cardigan Bay, and as we began to reminisce on our 1,000-mile walk around Wales, we were inspired by the gorse which stands sentinel along the Ceredigion coastline. The aroma of gorse full of vanilla and coconut, making it the perfect inspiration for Cardi Bay Vodka’s flavour and label design”.
“From the initial distillations and tasting sessions to approving the label design, this project has been a long time in the making, and we are thrilled to be launching Cardi Bay Vodka and are also over the moon with the positive feedback gathered so far!”
Cardi Bay Vodka can be purchased through the Eccentric Spirits website, the In The Welsh Wind website, and can be purchased at In The Welsh Wind Distillery in Tan-y-Groes and at Bar 45 in Cardigan which are also open as bottle shops.
