Distillery celebrates UK produce with new vodka
A distillery in Northamptonshire wants to “challenge perceptions” of British vodka with the release of Jelley’s Elderflower Vodka.
The vodka is distilled using coriander, liquorice, cardamom, orris root, lemon and infused elderflowersDrinks firm Jelley Distilleries, which is based in Desborough, claims to be challenging perceptions of British produce in the spirits industry by launching the English-made elderflower-flavoured vodka.
The vodka is distilled using coriander, liquorice, cardamom, orris root, lemon and infused elderflowers which are handpicked locally.
Benjamin Jelley, owner of Jelley Distilleries, said: “There’s a bit of family history when it comes to vodka. My dad achieved quite a coup when he ran an exporting company in the 1990s by selling vodka to the Russians.
“Now I’m hoping to go one better by establishing a successful vodka that’s made in England. Why should Russia have the monopoly on producing vodka? Jelley Distilleries is about challenging the status quo.
“We make spirits the British way, with style, class and character. Our new vodka is a celebration of our great country – a homemade product based on heritage and patriotism.”
