Hawkins Spiced Apple Vodka 40% 70cl
Based just outside Sheffield City Centre, Bryn Hawkins set up his own distillery in 2020 - completely self-taught, he reads as much as he could before actually distilling to ensure he could hit the ground running without wasting stock through experimentation.
His Chrimbo Gin is a seasonal hit, and while working in markets and festivals he often serves it with warm apple juice. But one evening he started playing around with the apple juice to make Appletinis, adding a little soft spice, and found inspiration to make this - a spiced apple vodka that is pretty much an Appletini in a bottle!
I was really excited to find out Bryn had made this, becuase I LOVE apple and cinnamon together, so I had everything crossed when the sample turned up for me to try. And it was with great relief to find out that Bryn, as hoped, had absolutely nailed it. The apple - all natural juice, no flavourings - is fresh but not too tart, while the spice element is gentle and neither overpowering or too sweet. Chilled from the freezer it's a joy, but if you shake it with a touch of Giffard Salted Caramel you get an amazing Salted-Toffee-Appletini!
