About this deal

JJ Artisanal Vodka is the result of the determination to create a high quality vodka with a difference. Thanks to our unique production process, the liquid has acquired a distinctive smoothness.

The vodka is made by combining Nemiroff Vodka with honey, pepper and fresh pear, delivering “pear drops” on the nose and “authentic pear flavour” on the palate. The Spirits Business held its annual Vodka Masters in September, a category considered to be blossoming as distillers look to experiment with native ingredients.Over recent days, 10 US states have banished Russian vodka from shelves in a show of solidarity with Ukraine. The Pur Vodka brand significantly stood out to the judges, as it was awarded six medals across the blind tasting for various bottlings.

Belvedere cleaned up in the Vodka – Rye flight, securing a total of seven medals altogether. One Master award was granted to its Heritage 176, a vodka spirit drink with “bold, strong rye notes”, and “chocolatey, chewy” flavours. The Inked Collection also bagged another Master medal for Burning Pear. This vodka particularly dazzled the judges, earning the highest award of the competition – The Vodka Taste Master 2021.The JJ Whitley range also includes variants such as Gold and Blood Orange, as well as a Raspberry Vodka, all of which claimed a Gold medal in the blind tasting. JJ Artisanal Vodka punches well above its weight with a compelling price point, premium branding and a superlative quality liquid. The Welsh bottling is five-times distilled and charcoal-filtered, made with pure glacier water and a hint of barley spirit. The UK-based company has unveiled JJ Whitley Gold Vodka, which was distilled in St Petersburg, Russia.

The second set of tasters comprised chair Bryan Rodriguez, wine and spirits buyer for Harvey Nichols. He was joined by Evan Prousaefs, bar manager at The Leaf and Cane in London; and Julia Nourney, independent spirits consultant. However, the bans have been criticised for having a potentially limited economic impact on Russia, as many popular ‘Russian’ vodka brands are not distilled or bottled there. As well as inviting businesses and individuals to join a charity online auction of rare and sought-after items, Drinkers for Ukraine has also called upon breweries to brew RESIST, a ‘Ukrainian Anti-Imperial Stout’ developed by displaced Ukrainian brewers, with profits donated to the Red Cross. . Founded in 1978, family-owned Halewood owns and manages 11 main distilleries and one craft brewery and distributes to 75 countries, including the UK, South Africa, Canada, Australia, China and Germany.The bottling received a new label design earlier this year, designed by Kirsty Holton at Manchester-based Sip Studio. Pur Vodka received the Master accolade in the Ultra Premium flight for having a “touch of chocolate malt” on the palate. Rodriguez noted the spirit would be “brilliant in a Martini or Negroni”.
