Product description
X Muse, pronounced 'Tenth Muse', is the first blended vodka inspired by the spirit making traditions of Scotland. Distilled in Scotland - We uniquely use two specific varieties of heritage barleys, prized for their complex flavour, and the purest water, drawn from an ancient aquifer at Scotland's Bonnington Estate, home to Jupiter Artland, our spiritual source. X MUSE is the first blended vodka to be produced using barley. And not big agri-business barley but two heritage varieties, Plumage Archer and Marris Otter, grown in the UK and distilled separately. It is this mix of barleys, prized for their flavour rather than their yield, that make X MUSE smooth, rich and complex enough for straight-up sipping as well as the essential component part of cocktails and martinis Our heritage barleys are distilled separately, drawing out their finest qualities. They are then blended to create a new dialogue, a carefully crafted coming together that is greater than the sum of its parts. We then let this blend rest before bottling, allowing the distillates time to commingle and become truly complementary. We take our name from a sculpture there by Ian Hamilton Finlay, and our bottle design is reminiscent of the iconic landform by Charles Jencks that frames our beautiful water source. It is a place that celebrates elemental harmony and balance.
