You may have come across the name Quintessentially before. They are of course a leading luxury lifestyle group and something the discerning gent of Elysium Magazine has much in common with. This time the group has joined forces with distillers G&J Greenall to produce vodka of ultra-premium class.<\/p>\n

The vodka is born of the finest organic wheat and purest English water filtered through ancient pebble beds. There is definitely something of the British craftsman in the production of this tipple that ticks all the boxes. When you consider the 250 years of distilling knowledge at G&J, you can imagine and appreciate the luxury nature of this spirit.<\/p>\n

The bottle is striking too. A symbol of masculine power you\u2019ll agree, this emblematic matte black vessel will certainly look the part in the drinks cabinet and catch the eye. Once it\u2019s caught the eye, it\u2019ll have every intention of influencing other senses too \u2013 taste and smell.<\/p>\n

On the palate it\u2019s as clean and crisp as you\u2019d expect of ultra-premium vodkas, with a small hint of aniseed. The nose is neutral with a touch of sweetness in the background, where the addition of rowanberry extract plays its part. Finally there\u2019s the gentle warmth on the finish with no burn typical of lesser vodkas. It\u2019s perfect over ice or in a fresh summers\u2019 cocktail.<\/p>\n
