Chase Rhubarb Vodka 70cl / 40%

Chase Rhubarb Vodka is an English rhubarb vodka from Chase Distillery, made by infusing slow-cooked local rhubarb into Chase potato vodka and bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. After the first infusion the spirit is distilled, then macerated again with more rhubarb for colour and sweetness. The finished flavoured vodka has a soft pink hue and genuine fruit character, balanced between sweet and tart. It suits fans of British puddings and anyone looking for a fruit vodka that is not overly sugary.

Chase Rhubarb flavour profile

• Nose: Stewed rhubarb and rhubarb-and-custard sweets, with a hint of coriander seed.
• Palate: Sweet and tart in balance, with rhubarb, orange zest and a creamy vanilla touch.
• Finish: Long and gently sweet-sour, with soft spice.

Many people pick up a rhubarb and custard flavour as the tart fruit meets that creamy vanilla note.

How to serve Chase Rhubarb

Serve it chilled over ice in a rocks glass, or lengthen it in a highball with a crisp mixer. At the table it matches rhubarb crumble, custard tarts or roast pork with apple sauce, and it brightens a spring Sunday lunch when the first forced rhubarb is in the shops.

Mixing Chase Rhubarb

• Chase Rhubarb and ginger: 50 ml over ice, topped with 150 ml ginger ale and a thin slice of fresh ginger.
• Rhubarb Collins: 50 ml with 20 ml fresh lemon juice and 10 ml sugar syrup over ice in a highball, topped with 100 ml soda water and an orange twist.

How it compares

Chase Pure Plain Vodka is the unflavoured base, dry and creamy; the rhubarb version is fruitier and softer at the same 40% ABV. Against Boë Dark Fruits Vodka, Chase Rhubarb is lighter in colour and sharper, with tart rhubarb in place of jammy berries.
