"Call me what you like, only give me some vodka." says a popular Russian proverb. You can imagine him, can't you; fluffy ushanka, rich voice, throaty accent? Conventional connotations of the word 'vodka'. So, imagine my surprise when I discovered that we have our very own British vodka, and a prize winner to boot! It turns out that the lush farms of Hereford are responsible for more than just elite bovines. A potato farm there uses its own perfect produce to create prestigious vodka. Pure genius!
Chase vodka is named after the mastermind who was brave enough to move from selling potatoes to creating world class vodka: William Chase (also the brains behind those Tyrrells crisps which we all love!) This award winning vodka is renowned for its creamy mashed potato overtones with buttery flavours and unusual hints of black pepper and smoky almond. All of this in one shot!
Chase has really done his research: using potatoes grown on the farm, he is able to control the starch content to make the perfect potato mash. Furthermore, his distillery ensures that the alcohol is not completely stripped from the fermented potatoes: after travelling the globe for knowledge, Chase has reverted to the age old traditional method of adding a hand-made batch pot to his copper still. After the slow, careful but impeccable distillation process, the vodka is lovingly hand-bottled (look out for the exquisite, unique design), the result is pure nectar. I cannot pay sufficient homage to this ingenious man so visit the Chase website or buy a bottle of this delicious vodka and decide for yourself.
And, now you have the vodka bug, how about a cocktail? The Cocktail of the Month at the Chase Distillery blends Vermouth with smoked vodka and a swirl of lemon. Et voila, you have made the aptly christened Smoke on the Water Martini. A hot summer's day calls for a cooling Cucumber Passion: cubes of cucumber splashed with passion fruit syrup, lemonade and lime. For the more fiery amongst us, add tabasco sauce, salt and tinned lychees to mojito syrup and vodka to create a Chilli Lychee. Or try the amazing combination of vodka, pomegranate syrup, Red vermouth, basil and cherries to make a Crimson Twilight creation.
If you prefer your cocktails to be mixed and poured for you then you really should consider heading on down to Home House of Portman Square. On Sundays The Bison Bar is the place to be for cocktails with a wide selection of the tropical delights. Pop down for a classic Mai Tai or simply choose a tasty treat from the extensive menu and relax.
