Product details
Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka is an Irish wheat vodka from Boatyard Distillery in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, made from Irish wheat and bottled at 41% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The spirit is not filtered, so its flavour and mouthfeel come entirely from distillation rather than from charcoal polishing. That makes it an unfiltered wheat vodka with more character than a heavily filtered, neutral one, showing soft vanilla, white pepper and a touch of cut grass. It suits drinkers who like to taste their vodka neat as well as those mixing simple, citrus-led cocktails.
Boatyard Vodka tasting notes
- Nose: Soft vanilla, fresh-cut grass and a light cereal sweetness.
- Palate: Silky, with vanilla, white pepper and a gentle creamy wheat character.
- Finish: Medium-long and peppery, with a green, grassy lift.
How to drink Boatyard Vodka
Try it neat at fridge temperature in a small tumbler first, to taste the unfiltered texture. Smoked fish, soda bread with salted butter and oysters all make good partners, and a plate of smoked salmon with capers is hard to beat. As a Northern Irish vodka, it also brings a local touch to a St Patrick's Day dinner.
Boatyard Vodka cocktails
- Boatyard Vodka Gimlet: shake 50 ml Boatyard with 20 ml fresh lime juice and 15 ml sugar syrup over ice and strain into a chilled coupe.
- Cucumber Vodka Soda: 50 ml over ice in a highball, topped with 150 ml soda water and two long cucumber ribbons.
How it compares
Baller Pure Plain Vodka from Doghouse in London is also made from wheat and left unfiltered, but has a fresher, minty finish, while Boatyard is grassier and more peppery. Compared with a whey-based spirit such as Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka, it is lighter in body and more cereal-driven.
Good to know
Boatyard Distillery is best known for its gin, and this vodka shows the same focus on raw ingredients, with Irish wheat and no filtering. Wodka Company ships Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka 70cl from London to anywhere in the UK.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Boatyard Vodka unfiltered?
Boatyard Distillery leaves its vodka unfiltered so that the flavour and mouthfeel come entirely from distillation, not from charcoal polishing. As a result, Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka keeps a silky texture with notes of vanilla, cut grass and white pepper.
Where is Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka made?
Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka is made at Boatyard Distillery in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, from Irish wheat. The distillery sits on the shores of Lough Erne near Enniskillen.
What cocktail suits Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka?
A Vodka Gimlet shows off Boatyard Pure Plain Vodka well, because lime and sugar frame its grassy, peppery character. Keep the sour balance simple, with a little more lime than sugar, and serve the Gimlet straight up in a chilled glass.
