Well-known for its fine gin spirits, British producer Masons Yorkshire has officially released its first inaugural vodka line, which consists of three variants: Classic, Citrus, and Espresso.
The most unique offering within the range is the 'Masons Espresso Vodka,' an innovative spirit that is sure to appeal to fans of the popular espresso martini cocktail. The spirit is vapor-infused with high-quality El Salvadorian coffee beans, which are sourced from Yorkshire Mason's own roaster, Rounton Coffee. As for the rest of the range, 'Masons Citrus Vodka' is infused with grapefruit and lemon, giving the spirit a sweet and tangy after taste. Meanwhile, the 'Masons Classic Vodka' is described as presenting an exceptionally "clean flavor."
Certainly, the new vodka line represents a major expansion for the brand, which was only possible following a £1 million (US$1.4m) investment that the company put towards building a new flavor lab.
