Brand new drinks category 'Wild Spirits' has launched

 

Brand new drinks category 'Wild Spirits' has launched with its inaugural product, Freya. Foraged from the birch forests of Northern Europe using only sustainable methods, Freya is the first product to be launched in an innovative new spirit category, which aims to refresh the drinks industry. Launching to the UK market in early November, Freya answers the demand from both on-trade and consumers for new products that balance sustainability and innovation.

Harvested once a year during early spring, the birch sap is brought to Master Distiller Dr. John Walters of English Spirit Distillery, based deep within the heart of the English countryside in Great Yeldham. It's here that pure birch sap is crafted in handmade copper pot stills into Freya; a clear spirit with a distinctive clean taste, which is full of character and of course, exceptional smoothness.

“Freya is truly innovative and a distinctive new taste – pure foraged birch sap from icy northern forests distilled into a new wild, full flavoured spirit – the response from mixologists and bartenders has been incredible,” says Founder of Pure Wild Spirits Ltd., Dave Wallwork. “We have an exciting few months ahead introducing Freya to consumers as we start to build this new category.” Purchase online via Master of Malt.
