Arbikie Highland Estate Strawberry Vodka

Scottish strawberries are among the sweetest in the world — the long summer daylight and cool nights of the east coast concentrate the sugar — and Arbikie grows them on the same estate that grows the wheat for the vodka they go into. Highland Estate Strawberry Vodka is the Stirling family's field-to-bottle strawberry vodka from Scotland's first single-site distillery on the Angus coast: Haar wheat vodka, distilled from estate-grown Zulu wheat, blended with the farm's own strawberries and bottled at a striking 50% ABV, far above the typical flavored vodka, with nothing artificial. Travel Distilled, who knows Scottish strawberries from years of eating them, called it wonderful — the first Arbikie vodka they tasted, and not the last. Expect a vivid nose of fresh, just-picked strawberry — real fruit, not candy — with the wheat vodka's vanilla creaminess underneath, opening into a palate where the strawberry reads ripe and slightly tart, the high proof carrying the fruit rather than burying it, and the wheat base adding a soft, rounded body, finishing long and fruity. Honest note: at 50% this is a serious spirit, not a dessert liqueur — it's built to hold its shape in a cocktail. A Strawberry Collins with lemon and soda, a strawberry Martini with a basil leaf, a summer spritz with prosecco and mint, or over crushed ice with a squeeze of lime. Scotland's berry season, bottled at full strength.
