Market Weighton distillery wins Great Taste Award for its Toffee Vodka
Wicstun Distillery has been awarded two stars by the Great Taste Awards for its Toffee Vodka liqueur.
The Great Taste Awards are the world's largest and most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme, run annually by the Guild of Fine Food.
Often called the "Oscars of the food world," the program evaluates artisan and independent products based strictly on flavour, texture, and aroma through blind taste testing.
Market Weighton based Wicstun Distillery, has been trading for five years and makes a wide range of Gin, Rums, Vodka and Liqueurs.
They launched their liqueur range a few years ago in response to customer looking for a sweet lower alcohol drink.
The range consists of Toffee, Rhubarb and Raspberry Vodka Liqueurs.
The Great Taste Award Judges said “Undeniably toffee on the nose and a creamy, indulgent fudge on the palate, this liqueur delivers well-judged sweetness with a grounding bitterness that carries it through for a satisfyingly long finish.”
Jago Packer, owner of Wicstun Distillery, said he was: “over the moon to have been awarded two stars.
“We are always pleased to see the reaction on people faces when they try our Toffee Vodka Liqueur.”
Barbara Pace, Distillery Manger, said: “Toffee Vodka has been our best seller for the last 18 months, with customers using it in cocktails and even over ice cream.”
