Everything You Need to Know About Flavoured Vodka

Date: April 25, 2025

Known for its clean, neutral taste, Vodka is a favourite in both cocktails and mixed drinks. But what happens when you introduce flavour?  

Adding flavour takes this simple spirit to a whole new level, now with endless possibilities and exciting combinations. From fruits and spices to rich, decadent tastes like chocolate and toffee, there’s a flavoured vodka for every palette. 

Flavoured Vodka, Classic Vodka – What’s the Difference? 

The key difference between classic and flavoured vodka lies in the experience. While traditional vodka is all about purity and smoothness, flavoured vodka leans more into its character and complexity.  

Plain vodka is commonly used in cocktails, mixed drinks and from time to time enjoyed straight, while flavoured vodka is often the more popular choice for enjoying sans mixer, over ice or with simple mixers and minimal added ingredients. 

Our Flavoured Vodka Selection 

So you don’t have to choose, our vodka range carries both a classic, unflavoured vodka and two decadent, smooth spirits infused with toffee and chocolate flavours, made using high-quality ingredients and small-batch distillation processes. 

Verdant Toffee Vodka – Rich and decadent toffee is added to a crisp grain spirit to create an indulgent vodka with a balanced sweetness and velvety texture.  

Verdant Chocolate Vodka – Deep, rich chocolate notes are accompanied by a hint of vanilla, creating an indulgent taste sensation.  

Verdant Classic Vodka – A clean vodka made from European wheat and blended with local spring water. The resultant spirit has a pure character and a magnificent mouthfeel.
