On the nose expect dark chocolate mocha and smokey coffee.
Notes of dark chocolate and vanilla merge with hints of smoke and cocoa.
A delicious vanilla sweetness.
Makes a fabulous espresso martini!
The hero botanical in our Holy Grass Vodka! It was discovered growing on the banks of nearby Thurso River by Robert Dick, a legendary botanist. It has a wonderful aroma and was once used on church floors to give a sweet, vanilla smell when walked over, thereby earning itself it’s religious moniker. Also known as Anthoxanthum nitens
We use Highland apple juice from Black Isle Berries near Inverness. The freshness of the apple complements the sweeter, vanilla notes of Holy Grass.
The unique ageing process was discovered in the 16th century, when the Dutch introduced coffee seeds to the island of Java. As spice ships carried their cargo back to Europe, the raw beans would be stored away in the hold to act as ballast. After several months at sea, the beans were tempered by the wood and the brine to produce an exceptionally robust, gutsy flavour. Perfect for providing the dark chocolate and smokey, sweet vanilla notes to our Holy Grass Vodka – cold brew coffee edition!
This is part of our commitment to responsible drinking.
We tried this when we visited the distillery, and have now received our second bottle! It’s the easiest and tastiest way to make an espresso martini.

A great twist on the original vodka. Very chocolatey and smokey, great in an espresso martini, or sipped over ice. I love how its not sweet apart from the vanilla notes, however I think most would expect it to be sweet like kaluha or a finished martini.

Bought as presents and both recipients loved it. Arrived very quickly and well packaged. Refill pouch would be fantastic as bottle is too nice not to re-use. Will definitely buy again.

A friend of mine got me this for my birthday and oh my goodness it is heaven. I haven’t tried making it into a martini yet, but a shot of this with some ice is just beautiful. With the bottle now finished, I’ve installed the pump and it looks perfect, plus I can go to my local zero-waste shop and fill up with hand-wash over and over again!
