DQ Vodka, bringing something slightly nuclear to Vodka2009-12-09Sweden's master distillers have for more than a century created the finest spirits in the World. These spirits have for the most part been blended with inferior spirits to create higher volumes of more affordable vodka. Nordic Spirit is the first Swedish company to release for export limited volumes of an undiluted vodka formula based solely on the purest fine spirits of central Sweden. Vodka of this quality can only be made a few bottles at a time. Producing in 'small batches' has to be more than just a smart advertising line; it has to be a fact! DQ Vodka can be made only 10,000 bottles at a time, and this volume is strictly allocated to only the finest shops and venues in the world. The resulting vodka is smoother, yet more complex than any other vodka. It drinks better at room temperature than most super-premium brands coming straight from the freezer. Emporium Drinks Limited |

The Vodka Emporium's latest addition: Fair Vodka2009-12-04We bring you the latest addition to our burgeoning family of vodkas, Fair Vodka. Cultivated by the Incas since the 13th century in the Andes mountain range, quinoa became popular only recently in the western world. We are now rediscovering its exceptional nutritional values and its outstanding versatility. An excellent source of proteins, quinoa has been the staple diet of Andean people for centuries. Our quinoa is cultivated by over 1,200 small producers in the Bolivian Altiplano, gathered within the Anapqui cooperative, the main association of farming producers in the country. FAIR. Vodka is an outstanding vodka using grains of Quinoa in its formula. This unique spirit reveals all the natural qualities of this small cereal from the South American Andes and the know-how of expert distillers from France. The production process is the result of a two-years joint research by French distillers and Bolivian farmers. FAIR. Vodka is the first Quinoa-based Vodka but also the first fairtrade certified vodka in the world. FAIR. Vodka offers an extraordinary clear and pure flavor, with a well-balanced texture and light elegant finish. It was nominated Best tasting Vodka 2009 at the prestigious New York Spirits Award in June 2009. Available now at the Vodka Emporium Emporium Drinks Limited |

Right Gin. Is it the right choice?2009-11-04Regular readers will know that recently we tried the ultra premium Oxley Gin and raved about it. Naturally you're thinking that's what you would expect for the price you're paying for a bottle. Well we're visiting a Gin that's much better suited to most people's wallets, Right Gin. First things first, unlike many Gins Right is made in Sweden and after sampling I have no complaints at that! Gin is commonly known as a depressant and when you try some of the regular lines you can see why as they have quite dark tastes. When you get to Right Gin the first thing that hits you, is that its a very light and refreshing taste. If you have it as a Martini you wouldn't necessarily notice, but as soon as you have a straight comparison with a tonic you can tell immediately the lighter qualities. I'm convinced if you drink Right Gin with sweeter cocktails then it will bring the drink up to a superior level. As with many Gins you can tell the distinct Juniper and herb undertones. You also have hints of Orange, rose as well as cardamon. It is incredibly smooth and considering I generally favour Vodka as my white spirit of choice I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a bottle of Right Gin to have a refreshing change. So all in all if you're a Gin drinker then you would certainly appreciate the subtle differences in this bottle and if you're a hardened Vodka drinker then you may well find that you will be positively surprised by giving Right Gin a try. The money you pay for a bottle certainly makes it good value and is head and shoulders above Gins that are a few pounds less, making the price difference absolutely a no brainer.
