Exploring Nature’s Bounty:
Wildjac Distillery’s Blackberry Vodka
At Wildjac Distillery, we are committed to crafting spirits that not only tantalise your taste buds but also connect you with the natural beauty of our surroundings. We take pride in our dedication to sourcing the finest ingredients and our newest creation; Blackberry Vodka, is a testament to that commitment. In this blog, we’ll take you on a journey into the heart of the Wyre Forest, where we forage the wild blackberries that give our vodka its distinctive flavour and character.
The Wyre Forest: A Natural Treasure
Wildjac’s home is nestled in the Wyre Forest, its name a nod to the muntjac deer that you’ll find in this beautiful part of the world, and its ‘wild’ ethos. Located in the heart of Worcestershire, the Wyre Forest is a lush, ancient woodland that has captivated nature enthusiasts and foragers for generations. With its diverse range of flora and fauna, this forest offers a rich tapestry of flavours and fragrances that inspire our distillation process.
Foraging for Blackberries
Foraging is an art and we take great pride in responsibly sourcing the ripest and juiciest blackberries from this beautiful part of the world. Blackberries thrive in the late summer and early autumn months, and that’s when we venture into the woods to carefully handpick these delicious treasures.
When foraging, we follow sustainable practices – ensuring we only take what’s needed and leave no damage in our wake. This commitment to ethical foraging not only preserves the forest’s delicate ecosystem but also ensures that each bottle of Wildjac Blackberry Vodka is infused with the pure essence of the forest.
Crafting Wildjac Blackberry Vodka
Once we’ve harvested the blackberries, we bring them back to the distillery, where we work our magic. The blackberries are gently crushed and combined with our high-quality, copper-distilled vodka spirit. This infusion process allows the flavours of the blackberries to meld with the vodka, creating a smooth, aromatic spirit with a hint of natural sweetness.
Our distillation process is a labour of love, as we carefully monitor the flavours and aromas to ensure that the essence of the forest shines through in every sip of Wildjac Blackberry Vodka.
Tasting Notes
Wildjac Blackberry Vodka is a symphony of flavours that pay tribute to the Wyre Forest’s bounty. With each sip, you’ll be transported to the heart of the forest, where juicy blackberries mingle with the warmth of our premium vodka. The taste is both vibrant and harmonious, making it perfect for sipping neat, mixing in cocktails, or enjoying with friends around a campfire.
At Wildjac Distillery, we believe that the best spirits are born from a deep connection to nature. Our Blackberry Vodka, crafted with hand-foraged blackberries from the Wyre Forest, is a celebration of the wilderness that surrounds us. We invite you to experience the essence of the forest in every sip and join us in raising a glass to the natural beauty that inspires us.
