Artisanal Russian vodka brand JJ Whitley has added a 'Blue Raspberry Russian Vodka' to its line of premium offerings, which already includes its well-known gold-filtered vodka. The blue-colored spirit is distilled in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it is crafted using wheat and water.
In terms of taste, the new spirit is said to present notes of raspberry on the nose, with blueberry on the palate, while delivering a silky smooth finish. The vodka has a 38% ABV and was crafted with the intention of offering customers a versatile spirit option. The company recommends that 'Blue Raspberry Russian Vodka' be served straight, with ice, or with a mixer.
"The brilliant, bright blue liquid not only tastes great but also provides shoppers with a great opportunity to create a range of impactful, Instagrammable serves at home,” said Simon Jackman, senior global marketing manager at Halewood Artisanal Spirits.
