Product details
Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka is an English vodka distilled from milk whey, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Instead of grain or potato, it starts with the whey left over when milk is turned into cheese, a by-product that would otherwise go to waste. That unusual base gives the spirit a creamy, rounded texture quite unlike a crisp grain vodka. Black Cow was created on a dairy farm in West Dorset, and it suits drinkers who enjoy sipping vodka slowly or who want a softer base for coffee cocktails.
Black Cow Pure Milk tasting notes
- Nose: Soft and clean, with fresh cream, a hint of vanilla and a little citrus.
- Palate: Creamy and full, with gentle sweetness, a white chocolate note and a touch of lemon.
- Finish: Long and mellow, with a soft, milky roundness.
How to drink Black Cow Vodka
Sip it neat straight from the fridge or over one large ice cube in a rocks glass, which lets the creamy texture come through. Because it begins life on a dairy farm, Black Cow Vodka with cheese is a natural match: try a mature Cheddar, a crumbly Dorset blue or a slice of Comté. Smoked salmon and oysters work well too.
Black Cow cocktails
- Black Cow Espresso Martini: shake 50 ml Black Cow with 25 ml coffee liqueur and 25 ml freshly brewed espresso over ice, then strain into a chilled coupe.
- White Russian: 40 ml Black Cow and 20 ml coffee liqueur over ice in a rocks glass, with 30 ml single cream floated on top.
How it compares
Its sibling Black Cow Vodka & English Strawberries adds pressed English strawberries and comes in at 37.5%, giving a pale pink, fruit-led drink. Compared with a wheat vodka such as East London Liquor Co. Vodka, Pure Milk is rounder and creamier, with less cereal character and a softer finish.
Good to know
As a vodka made from milk whey, Black Cow turns a cheesemaking leftover into a spirit, and the same base carries through to its strawberry version. Wodka Company delivers Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka 70cl to any UK address; its story makes it a good talking-point gift for cheese lovers.
