Best Value Vodkas for Martinis

Nothing quite hits the spot like a frosty martini. Whether you like yours dry, wet or deliciously dirty, these great-value vodkas make a dreamy base. All come in at the sub-£30 mark, so there’s no need to save them just for special occasions. Monday night cocktails, here we come…

Sacred Organic Vodka

Made from organic wheat and rye spirits blended to elegant perfection in an ‘assemblage’ style inspired by winemaking, this London-produced vodka is creamy, smooth and dangerously drinkable. A slight bite of hazelnut, joined by gentle warmth on the finish, makes it the perfect pick for a wet martini with a simple twist of lemon (and, preferably, made with Sacred’s own English Dry Vermouth). For the ultimate serve, chill it down in the freezer before pouring.

Size: 700ml
ABV: 40%

Cîroc

Distilled five times from a base of French grapes, Cîroc is as smooth as it gets. But unlike some vodkas, here smooth doesn’t mean lacking in character. An aromatic, fruity nose has a definite grape tone – something that becomes even more pronounced when the vodka is served up with orange bitters and a frozen grape garnish (as Cîroc’s suggests for a ‘classic twist’ martini). The refreshing, clean palate feels far more sophisticated than the typical £30 price point, too.

J.J Whitley Artisanal Russian Vodka

Now here’s a martini base with pedigree as JJ Whitley has been making spirits since 1762. With a Russian wheat vodka this tasty – and silly affordable at around £16 a pop – it’s no wonder they’re still winning awards for it to this day (this particular bottling bagged IWSC Gold in 2020). A fresh nose opens up to a full-bodied, creamy and spicy palate. Chill it right down, add a splash of vermouth and you’ve got crowd-pleasing, affordable martinis for your next dinner party.

Size: 700ml
ABV: 38%
Find here: £16.05

Wry Vodka

Long-running fans of Silent Pool’s gins, we’ve now fallen for their Wry Vodka too. It’s got real local character: 100% rye grain spirit is re-distilled with rye malt, then filtered with traditionally produced hornbeam charcoal – itself made by a woodsman just over the hill from Silent Pool’s Surrey distillery. The rye certainly gives this a tad more kick, and robust character, than you get in some other vodkas; expect a peppery spice and warmth that can stand up to the flavour of wet, dirty martinis.

Size: 700ml
ABV: 40%
Find here: £24.59

Black Cow Vodka

Vodka, from milk? You heard us. This Dorset-made spirit takes whey – the by-product of milk and cheese production from local grass-fed cows – and turns it into a delectable, decadent vodka. Gorgeously creamy, and with a rich and silky mouthfeel, Black Cow really shines in the driest of martinis – just a wee twist of lemon is all you need to make it shine. Not in a martini mood? This feels made for a sublimely retro White Russian (go on, we’re not judging…).

Size: 700ml
ABV: 40%
Find here: £24.87

Vela Vodka

Nestled beside Kent’s River Medway, family-owned distillery Copper Rivet turns out this small-batch wheat, rye and barley vodka with loving care and attention – it even declares its vintage on the label (in our case, 2016). That’s not all that makes it special, though; unusually for most distilleries in Britain, it’s distilled grain to glass. One sip into a – preferably bone-dry – martini and it’s already exceptional. Fruit and cereal show on the nose, with a bright palate that moves from fruitiness to richness, ending with a hint of pepper.

Size: 500ml
ABV: 40%
Find here: £28.50

Wildjac Fresh Citrus Vodka

We like that this vodka is kind to the planet: the 100% recycled glass bottles, FSC-certified wood stopper, and biodegradable closure are all tick marks. But this Worcestershire vodka entices with its palate too: Worcester Endeavour hops and lemon thyme, as well as zesty pink grapefruit, fragrant bergamot and herby eucalyptus, give it a bright, citrussy profile. It is a flavoured vodka, so some martini purists might balk – but serve this cool with a twist of lemon, and you’ll quicky convince ‘em otherwise.

Size: 700ml
ABV: 37.5%

The Best Whiskies in the World

Words by Colin Hampden-White

As time moves forward, World Whisky Day has greater meaning. Long gone are the days of whisk(e)y being dominated by Scotch and Irish drams. We have whiskies being made in the most unlikely of countries, and being made very well. Along with Scotch and Irish drams, Japanese whisky has held a respected position in the whisky world for over a decade. It is surprising it has taken so long for the whisky world to wake up to Japanese whiskies with it having been produced in Japan for nearly a century with the Yamazaki distillery being built in 1924.

Beyond Japan, there is great whisky being made in Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. With Lark distillery being build in 1992, and Sullivans Cove in 1994, Australian whisky began to be recognised for its quality with Sullivans Cove being awarded the world’s best single malt in 2014. To whisky lovers, these distilleries are well known, but there are also new lesser-known distilleries with fantastic whisky. Cardrona distillery in New Zealand launched their first Single Malt last year with Just Hatched and followed that up with another brilliant release Growing Wings.

Distilling in central Europe is also going from strength to strength. Well known distilleries such as Slyrs in Germany, Lagatun in Switzerland are continuing to keep their quality and consistency. Newer distilleries in central Europe are creating some incredible whisky, Broger and Pfanner in Austria being two favourites of mine. Moving a little further east to the Caspian Sea, I have even found good single malt whisky being made in Azerbaijan on a visit a few years ago. Closer to home for me, the distilleries in England and Wales are going great guns. Aber Falls is about to release their first whiskies this year, Copper Rivet released their first whisky, Masthouse and the Cotwolds distilleries created their sherry cask matured expression which was my favourite English whisky of the last year.

A country well known for its whiskey is the USA, although usually made with different grains and corn, but they are now making some fantastic single malt whiskey. St George in California make a complex and fruity single malt, whilst Balcones in Texas make a big bold powerful single malt which has great complexity with their cold winters and incredibly hot summers making maturation a rapid affair with plenty of interaction between wood and spirit.

With all these world whiskies it would be easy to think that Scotch and Irish are getting left behind, but this is far from the truth. There is a plethora of new distilleries which are now producing whisky. The Glasgow distillery, Ardnamurchan, Daftmill and Arbiki being a few of my favourites. And there are new whiskies on the way with distilleries being built now like Gordon & MacPhail in the Cairngorms and more planned for the future. The green light has also been given for Sukhinder Singh’s distillery on Islay.

From the world of old, three notable closed distilleries are coming back to greet us. Port Ellen is being rebuilt, as is Rosebank, and Brora is opening imminently. Over the last few years, a few existing brands that have been overlooked have had a revamp and are creating some very exciting whisky. My favourite is Fettercairn from Whyte and Mackay, with the 16 year old (made with chocolate malt) being particularly good. Glenturret, having been bought by Lalique has had a serious makeover and the new expressions are seriously good, with a 15 year old at 55% ABV really standing out. Lastly, I enjoyed the new expressions from Bladnoch. A distillery which we have seen little from over the years now has a very smart new bottle and quite a few new expressions. I very much liked the Vinaya which is excellent value and for the 2020 release of Talia, a 26 year old which they matured in American oak red wine casks for all 26 years, and the results were excellent.

With so much choice in the world of whisk(e)y it is hard to know where to start. Might I suggest wherever you might be in the world to start close by, there is bound to be a distillery not too far away, creating whisky, and on this day of all days, let’s celebrate together and keep the food miles down, and support the expansion of whisky throughout the world with a glass of something local.

Thursday Club with talk RADIO: Great Value Italian Wines

Today on the Thursday Club with talkRADIO, we sing the praises of three Italian wine grapes you might not have heard of but certainly need to be tasted: Fiano, Nero D’Avola and Primitivo. They also often make wines that are fantastic value too, like these three below.

All wines this week have been sent courtesy of Corney & Barrow , who also happen to be doing a celebrity wine tasting tonight (May 13th) at 8pm to raise money for hospitality. See more here on that.

Fiano Masseria Bianca 2018

The white grape of Southern Italy is Fiano, which makes universally loveable white wines that combine a citrussy freshness with riper, tropical notes of nectarine and pineapple.  This one is grown on limestone-rich soils near the Ionian Sea in Puglia, which gives it a particular freshness and cool slick of chalkiness. Campania is the main Italian region for this grape but you can find i elsewhere like Puglia and Sicily too. If you like un-oaked, new world Chardonnay.

Find it here for £10.25 from Corney & Barrow.

Mucchietto IGT Primitivo del Salento 2019

The Primitivo grape is said to be the old cousin of Zinfandel, which is famous over in California for making equally rich and brooding reds. It thrives in its Puglian homeland in Italy, where it makes wines that are particularly ripe, figgy, soft and juicy, often with notes of chocolate dipped cherry, sweet spice and beeswax. This is the comfort blanket of Italian red wine styles. If you like red Zinfandel, you’ll like this.

Find it here for £10.25 from Corney & Barrow.

Cipollina IGT Rosso Terre Siciliane 2018

For this wine, we head over to Sicily where the native Nero d’Avola grape rules the roost for rustic, easy-drinking and inexpensive red wines. This one by Cipollina is Nero d’Avola dominant with a cheeky splash of Syrah. Brooding and dark red, thanks partly to the sun’s heat, it has notes of rich, baked cherry pie, warm spice, plum and violets. The perfect party or barbecue wine, it’s a crowd pleaser that looks and tastes much smarter than its price tag would suggest.  If you like Shiraz /Syrah, you’ll like this.

Find it here for £8.50 from Corney & Barrow.

The Best Canned Wines for Summer Picnics

Once a grin-and-bear-it drink, resorted to only in times of desperation (like on the 17:42 from Waterloo), canned wine is undergoing a revolution. Fresh and fun new brands – with carefully sourced, quality wines – are cropping up en masse. No wonder: from taste to variety, portion control to the big E (the environmental impact) there are plenty of reasons to celebrate wine in a tin. So, give the below a go – you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

LUBANZI

When The Wine Society choose wine, they do it really blimming well, so it should be no surprise that their canned wine knocks the socks off so many others. Fruity and ‘clean’ without the sulphurous stink that cans can sometimes have, this pair of wines from South Africa provide super easy drinking that’s not confected, weedy or sickly. Named after a wandering dog that lead travellers a great distance, their soft, honeydew melon and white chocolate-scented Chenin Blanc and their spicy, juicy Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre red blend are both vegan, carbon neutral and Fairtrade certified too. The cans are really smart and when you look at their price, it’s just a no brainer. The Wine Society are not for profit, which is why these - and all their wines - are such amazing value.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 12.5% -13.5%

Kiss of Wine

There’s a lot to love about this fresh, fun range, and one thing is its diversity. There are a whopping six single varietals to choose from, including ‘smooth’ Loire Valley Chardonnay, ‘zesty’ German Riesling, ‘chill’ Provencal Grenache Rosé and ‘crisp’ Loire Sauvignon Blanc. The stand-outs? That’ll be the Nebbiolo (nicknamed ‘feisty’) and soft, rounded Dolcetto (‘wild’) – two grapes we never thought we’d see in a canned wine. Each variety is sourced from a different small producer; a pamphlet delivered with your order gives the low-down, along with tasting notes and suggested food pairings. Plump for the 24-can Mixed Event Pack (£87) at your next barbecue and you’ll have literally something for everyone.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 11.5%-12.5%
Find here: £24.99 for 6

Canned Wine Co

Think canned wine can’t be great quality? This range of single varietal, vintage-declared wines will change your mind. The lively 2019 Austrian Grüner Veltliner is classic peach, apple and white pepper; the 2019 Grenache Rosé brings wild strawberries and grapefruit. The favourite however, hands down, is the 2016 Old Vine Garnacha: mature, smooth and chocolate-dipped-cherries on the nose and palate. This is a serious wine, worth its premium price tag (three 25cl tins cost £18). Snap it up quick, though; it’s just a limited edition, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 12.5%-14.5%
Find here: £18 for 3

Mirabeau

Provence’s pink wine poster child comes in a tinned format – and it’s just as sippable. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, grown on sun-baked southern French clay and limestone soils, this really is summertime in a glass: opulent white peach and strawberry on the nose, and a fruity, crisp palate. When the sun comes out, there’s no better way to enjoy this than at a picnic with friends, or down by the beach with a freshly made crab sandwich.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: Currently £2.79 per can normally £3.49

Babe

One of the best things about canned wine is that it helps you control intake – on those ‘I’m being good’ days you can stick to just one glass, without feeling tempted to have more. And fresh and fun bubbly brand Babe makes it even more guilt-free with its low-alcohol 100 Rosé – a 6.9%, 100-calorie pink fizz that is perfectly refreshing. Not someone who gets the guilt? Stick to the rest of their range: a standard bubbly Rosé (12% ABV), as well as fizzy Pinot Grigio and a barbecue-perfect sparkling Cabernet and Syrah blend.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 6.9%-12.5%
Find here: UK £27 for 12 (mixed pack) // US £37.99 for 12 (mixed pack)

Daylesford

Canned sparkling and frizzante wines are a revelation. Not only do they chill quicker than a whole bottle, but their 25cl size means that you avoid the waste that comes when an unfinished bottle goes flat (not that we know what an unfinished bottle of fizz looks like…but you know, theoretically). Two great examples come from the lovely Daylesford organic farmshop: a delightfully juicy organic Rosé Frizzante and a floral-scented ‘Sparkling Italian’ (made in Prosecco, but they can’t call it that ‘cause it’s in tins). Daylesford’s sustainable, still Provencal rosé, Léoube, made for sun-soaked picnic drinking, is available to buy in can format too as Le Petit Léoube.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 10.5%-13%
Find here: £50 for 12

Sipful Organic Bubbly

Sometimes, you *need* a glass of fizz – but opening a bottle feels like overkill. Sipful is here to help; its signature is a Spanish sparkling wine, just 25cl (a third of a bottle), so you can (figuratively) pop the cork any time or place it takes your fancy. Crisp, uncomplicated and gently carbonated, these are convenient to keep on hand for a quick birthday toast, a date on the beach or really for any moment when only fizz will do (does every single day after work count?). It’s perfect splashed into a Mimosa or Bellini too and Sipful agrees – it also sells its own tinned versions of these (4.5% ABV), made with real orange, peach and blood orange juices.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 4.5%-12%
Find here: £30.95 for 12

Small But Perfectly Formed

One more benefit of drinking canned wine: the lightweight tin can have a gentler environmental footprint than glass bottles. And it was with this in mind that wine merchant Bibendum launched its new range of three tipples: a 2018 Californian Zinfandel Rosé, a non-vintage Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, and a 2018 Argentinian Malbec (surprisingly quaffable from a can, this one is medium-bodied, with black cherry compote, ripe plum and red currant notes). Our favourite? Probably the Sauvignon – at £3 a can, it’s an affordable, easy-going option for impromptu park catch ups with mates.

Size: 250ml
ABV: 10.5%-13.5%
Find here: £3 per can

The Uncommon

Uncommon is right: this is one of the only canned English wines out there! And it sticks to what this green and pleasant land does so well: fizz. Kentish Bacchus and Chardonnay grapes give this quirky brand’s Bubbly White Wine delicious elderflower and green apple notes – just the thing for sipping while watching Wimbledon or strolling through Kew Gardens. The Pinot Noir rosé is another winner – hello, strawberries – but if you’re part of the low-alcohol brigade, there’s something you’ll like even better. White and rosé spritzers, at just 5.5% ABV, combine the signature wines with botanicals such as rose, hawthorn, cucumber and lemon verbena.

ABV: 5.5%-11.5%
Find here: £20 for 16

Thursday Club with talk RADIO: Crémant

Today’s Thursday Club is all about Crémant: the French fizz made in the same way (the traditional method) as Champagne, but from other regions in France, using their local grape varieties. You can get Crémant from many regions around France, the most famous being Crémant de Bourgogne (Burgundy) Crémant de Loire, Crémant de Bordeaux, Crémant de Limoux and Crémant d’Alsace. 

Only French wines can be called Crémants and they offer fantastic value, considering they are made in the same time consuming method as Champagne, where wine needs to be aged on the lees (dead yeast cells) albeit for a shorter amount of time. Lees is what gives fizz its biscuity, brioche notes. 

Today, we’re looking at Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Calvet Crémant de Bordeaux, Brut NV

Fizz from the world’s most famous wine region has existed for centuries but it was only officially recognised as a style in 1990. They are often more aromatic and fruity than Champagne thanks partly to the grape varieties used and less time on lees. 

Grape varieties: Sémillon and Cabernet Franc

£10 from Tesco

Calvet Crémant de Bordeaux, Brut Rosé NV

This rosé is made with the famous red grapes of Bordeaux, so offers a structured, savoury pink style that’s ideal for food like cold cuts. Cracking value and on offer at the moment. 

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot

Find it for £10.39 from Ocado (down from £12.99)

Crémant de Bourgogne, Blanc de Blancs, Brut NV

The famous white grape of France’s Burgundy region (Bourgogne in French) is Chardonnay and in this case, ‘blanc de blanc’ means 100% Chardonnay, though other local grapes such as Gamay and Pinot Noir can be used. While Chardonnay is also the grape used in Champagne, the region of Burgundy is a bit warmer and so Crémant de Bourgogne is often a bit rounder with more fruit. Very easy going. 

Grape variety: Chardonnay

Find it for £10.49 Waitrosecellar on offer (down from £13)

Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Rosé, Simonnet-Febvre, NV

The red wines of Burgundy are famously made with Pinot Noir and this Crémant is made purely with this grape. Pinot Noir is also one of the main grapes of Champagne but from here in Burgundy, the pinks are much more fruity with notes of cherry and spice. 

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir

Find it for £15.75 from Vinatis

CBD Beverages with Benefits

Watch this video for more information on the OTO Seltzer range!

Here at The Three Drinkers HQ, there have been many changes to what we do and how we run the show thanks to Uncle Covid and that has meant two, key things: one, more pressure, anxiety and general overwhelm and two, more alcohol samples through our doors as tastings that we normally attend in town come to us. It’s fair to say, this has been a potentially explosive situation for our mental and physical health and with so much to be anxious about at the moment, the temptation to swallow one too many of the samples can be great indeed. 

One thing we have been immensely happy to see over the last few months however, is the choice of genuinely delicious, alcohol alternatives - real grown-up soft drinks that offer a compelling choice away from the booze. The desire and need to find more balance when it comes to what we consume has never been stronger not just for us, but for our readers. 

Discovering CBD

The key discovery within the category this year has been CBD products, delicious drinks that do more than just taste good; they help us feel good too. As drinks professionals, when we choose not to drink alcohol, we want to reach for something that also feels like a treat but goes further than that. We want an interesting, complex flavour profile because that is what we are used to but we also want it totally guilt free, so low calorie, no sugar and no nasties, but with some other benefits too. 

CBD seltzers with extra benefits

The OTO CBD seltzers fulfil all the above for us and then some. These all-natural, refreshing, sparkling waters showcase a wide range of unique, botanical extracts beyond the CBD. This means flavours that not only satisfy our cravings for complexity, but offer additional health benefits too, such as Kampot Pepper for its mood-improving chemicals and liquorice for its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. The best bit however, has to be the CBD; a significant 25mg per can, which is higher than most other brands. What we found pretty quickly was that it’s not necessarily about what it makes you feel; it’s about what you stop feeling. Anxiety and stress seem to melt away. It’s a delicious revelation - and the perfect antidote to YOU KNOW WHAT.

Try these three from Oto:

Focus

CBD with a refreshing blend of Korean Sencha Tea, Mint and a kick of Kampot Pepper. The tea has antioxidant properties and helps improve cognitive skills. Mint is good for memory and feeling alert and the pepper contains natural, positive mood-inducing chemicals. 

Amplify

CBD with Bitter Orange, Goji Berry and Habanero Chilli. Here, you’ve got the soft bitter orange and wild goji flavours that are ramped up with the subtle chilli heat. The bitter orange invigorates, the Goji Berry promotes calmness, and the chili releases endorphins to reduce pain and improve your mood.

Balance

CBD with Elderflower, Cucumber and Liquorice. Soothing and refreshing, with a subtle note of sweet spice. The Elderflower is rich in anti-inflammatory properties, cucumber is a great anti-oxidant and licorice contains antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties.

Size: 250ml
CBD: 25mg per can

Meet Glenmorangie’s New, Super Rare Expression

Dr Bill Lumsden has done it again. Known to some as Head of Distilling & Whisky Creation at The Glenmorangie Company and to others as the ‘Willy Wonka of Whisky, Bill has created another fabulous, limited edition whisky finished in Chardonnay casks hailing from renowned wine producer Sonoma-Cutrer in Sonoma Valley, California. 

As a self-confessed wine geek, Dr Bill has always adored Californian Chardonnay and it was during a visit out there fifteen years ago that he managed to persuade Sonoma-Cutrer to sell him a few casks for experimentation. They agreed and Bill filled the casks with fifteen year old whisky - some that was distilled in his first days at the distillery back in February 1995. The casks were then put away to mature and allow the flavours to mingle together beautifully over time. 

Glenmorangie Sonoma-Cutrer Reserve 25 Year Old Single Malt

After numerous tastings since then, Dr Bill has decided the whisky is ready - and ready it most certainly tastes. Bottled at 55.7% ABV, it is deep ochre in colour and with the same characteristic floral aromas and bready notes Glenmorangie is famous for, there is a wide range of citrus fun from grapefruit and fresh orange peel and to marmalade and lemon balm. “Like a honey and lemon hot toddy” is how Dr Bill describes it, as well as marshmallow, smoked pear, earthy biscuits and spicy ginger with a peppery kick on the tongue. All in all, it's super smooth and mellow, with a beautiful, buttery, sunshine finish reminiscent of the fruity, golden Chardonnay the casks once held. 

This Sonoma-Cutrer Reserve whisky was created as part of an experiment, where only 1000 bottles exist, each one hand-signed by Dr Bill Lumsden himself. They have described it as Glenmorangie’s ‘most rare and unique creations’. I was very lucky to taste it. 

The Glenmorangie Sonoma-Cutrer Reserve 25 Year Old Single Malt was created for release exclusively through the Moët Hennessy Private Client team. RRP £1,750 (US$2,442) per 700ml bottle.

Prawn cocktail Crisp Flavoured Beer, You Say?!

Coming from Yorkshire and having grown up mere streets away from the Seabrook factory, it was hard not to get excited about the news that Leeds-based brewer Northern Monk have teamed up with Bradford-based Seabrook to create two new styles of beer: Cheese & Onion and Prawn Cocktail. Just, wow.

They first teased us with this on April Fool’s day, so we weren’t sure here at 3DHQ whether to believe it or not. It wouldn’t be the first time that Northern Monk have pulled off an exciting new style of beer… Anyone else remember their jam roly-poly and Yorkshire pudding beers made in partnership with Aunt Bessie’s last year? It turns out, however, that it is in fact true and the two companies have succeeded in bringing together two of our nation’s favourite things: beer and crisps!

These unique beers are made from a base beer that has been combined with actual Seabrook crisp flavouring. Sadly, we haven’t managed to get our hands on them but the Cheese & Onion lager, coming in at 5.4% abv, is described as having a distinct aroma and leaving you with an aftertaste of cheese and onion whereas the Prawn Cocktail Gose, at 5% abv, is said to be a sour beer with distinct saltiness and a tang of prawn cocktail.

Unfortunately, these crisp-inspired beers are currently sold out, but you can see more of Northern Monk’s imaginative flavours and delicious drinks in the meantime here. If you do manage to get your hands on some, let us know what you thought via our social media @thethreedrinkers!

For more wacky beer stories, take your pick from Aunt Bessie’s Roast Potato Beer, Colman’s Mustard Beer, Fungtn Mushroom Beer and not forgetting Vagina Beer!
