At the crossroads of British minimalism and exacting craft, the East London Liquor Company Wheat - Vodka - 40°C stands as a clear, contemporary take on wheat vodka. Produced in small batches from 100% British wheat and distilled in a custom-made copper still, it expresses remarkable clarity. Its profile, smooth and creamy, unfolds with confident elegance, punctuated by a hint of anise that gives it a distinctive signature. It speaks to those who seek a precise, straightforward vodka without artifice but with a measured personality, suited to sober, impeccably balanced preparations. In a highball with a splash of soda, in a crystal-clear martini or served neat and very cold, it captures the spirit of a pared-back London style, ready to complement your lifestyle.

Blend and distillation

Made from 100% British wheat selected for consistent aromatics and purity, this spirit is born from a precisely controlled distillation in a custom copper still. Copper, the historic ally of the finest spirits, sharpens texture, smooths edges and promotes a clean grain expression. Every step is designed to preserve the integrity of the raw material and deliver a bright palate free of heaviness. The artisanal, small-batch approach allows control over the final profile and produces a vodka that is both upright and caressing, able to pair with classic bar serves as well as the most refined creations.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Transparent and pure, with remarkable clarity that promises a clean, precise expression.
• Nose: Delicately cereal-driven opening, evoking the sweetness of wheat, followed by a fresh, crisp impression with a faint aniseed note that adds definition and distinction.
• Palate: Soft, satiny attack with a smooth, creamy texture carried by great purity. The balance unfolds on a straight line, punctuated by bold accents and a subtle anise touch, leading to a clean, long and impeccably neat finish.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve very chilled to highlight its precision and silky texture, in a pre-chilled glass. For a martini, opt for a gently stirred mix to preserve clarity and length. For a highball, a splash of soda and a large ice cube are enough to reveal its elegance without masking its identity. Store the bottle away from light and close tightly after serving to preserve aromatic clarity.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: caviar, blinis with light cream, gravlax salmon, fine taramasalata.
• Starters: oysters, delicate sashimi, mild herring, dill and cucumber pickles.
• Main courses: just-seared white fish, poached poultry, baby potatoes with fresh herbs.
• Cheeses: herbed fresh cheese, faisselle, very mild goat for a purity match.
• Desserts: lemon or yuzu sorbet, lightly candied citrus, airy meringue.
