Newport, United Kingdom, July 10, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Introducing the Spirit of Wales' newest premium Welsh spirit brand Steeltown. Steeltown is the first signature brand from the distillery based in Newport, featuring Steeltown Welsh Dry Gin and Steeltown Welsh Vodka. The range includes two practical everyday spirits that focus on the taste inspired by the industry of Wales and the fruity florals of the region. Steeltown Welsh Vodka is a contemporary and complex mix of delicate citrus and pepper tones that are bright and full of character. Steeltown Welsh Dry Gin with sweet floral characteristics accompanied by flavour bursts of juniper and citrus.
The Spirit of Wales Distillery has a passion for all things Welsh, but specifically, the people of Wales, who inspired the spirits created in Newport. Each bottle of Spirit of Wales spirits captures the essence of the Welsh and pays tribute to the hard workers who built this country through fishing, farming, coal mining and steel production. Steeltown Welsh Vodka is a contemporary blended grain vodka with complex earthy cereal and zesty pepper notes. Enhanced by delicate citrus, with expressive hints of soft vanilla and crushed black peppercorn. This premium Welsh Vodka is an exciting spirit with the clean character provided by the Anthracite filtering process.
In recent years, with the decline in sales in the category, Vodka faces a slow recovery in the United Kingdom which is affected by the pandemic. This has created some rejuvenation in the sector, with some new opportunities presented to craft distilleries. The versatility of vodka as a base ingredient for cocktails means it will always have a place in the spirits category. With the rise of premiumisation in the category, combined with the importance of provenance storytelling. According to The Spirits Business, consumers want to know about the quality of the vodka they drink, placing importance on the distillation process, flavour notes and purity of the spirit.
Steeltown Welsh Vodka is made with wheat, barley and rye-based alcohols blended to specification on-site at the Spirit of Wales Distillery. They combine the blend of alcohols with the Welsh Anthracite Coal filtering process they packed the Welsh Vodka with complexity. The wheat provides a clean vanilla sweetness; the barley brings about toasted grain notes adding body to Steeltown Vodka. While the rye adds a peppery spice to the finish. The team at the Spirit of Wales Distillery experimented many times with the Anthracite filtration process, resulting in a subtly refined premium Welsh Vodka with 40% ABV and the pleasant congeners intact.
Filtered through Welsh Anthracite coal in contrast to the commonly used activated carbon. Wanting to partner with other Welsh businesses, the Spirit of Wales distillery sought premium quality Anthracite Filter Media from EGL Puracite. Formerly owned by Betws Anthracite Ltd who used Anthracite as a filter media to improve filtration rates and the quality of drinking water. Adopted by countries around the globe, including Welsh Water, at the previous treatment site in Ammanford in Carmethshire. Here the DGL group currently produces up to 6000 tonnes of Anthracite Filter Media annually. The activated carbon within the anthracite filtration process provides the complex mix of bright and crisp flavours found within Steeltown Welsh Vodka. Available from the Spirit of Wales online store, Crafty Connoisseur, and Master of Malt.
Steeltown Welsh Vodka is available in a 5cl and 50cl bottle, directly from the Spirit of Wales Distillery in Newport, South Wales, or the online store. The perfect Welsh spirit pairing, Steeltown Welsh Vodka, and the Spirit of Wales Salted Caramel chocolate. The perfect pairing and a tantalising feast for the senses: smooth, creamy milk chocolate infused with Cornish Sea Salt™ and natural caramel flavour combined with Steeltown Welsh Vodka’s crisp, earthy flavours.
