Arbikie, has beaten a number of world renowned brands, including Grey Goose, to win ‘Best Vodka’ at the Spirits Cocktail competition in Paris. Arbikie vodka is made using three different types of potato and Scottish water to create a slightly sweet and creamy vodka.
The Arbikie Distillery is part of the Arbikie Highland Estate which the Stirling family have been farming on for four generations. Iain Stirling, Arbikie’s Commercial Director says, “As a family business, it is wonderful to have the freedom to be innovative.”
He continues, “We have embraced the French concept of ‘terroir’, which describes how the natural elements of a place determine the characteristics of wine, to create exceptional spirits. We’re delighted that the distinguished Cocktails Spirits Judging Panel agree.” The Arbikie Distillery is also preparing to launch its first artisan gin in the coming months.
