Fair Spirits have built their entire proposition around ethical sourcing and genuine innovation, and their Quinoa Vodka is the perfect embodiment of both principles. Using Bolivian quinoa — a grain better known on health food shelves than in distilleries — as the base, they have created something that tastes genuinely different from anything else in the vodka category.
The nose is subtly floral with a distinctive nuttiness that immediately signals something unusual is going on. On the palate, the quinoa base delivers a creamy, almost silky texture with gentle nutty notes that are entirely unique to this spirit. It is fascinating stuff — a vodka that actually has something to say.
Produced in France using traditional distillation methods, the spirit is quadruple-distilled to ensure purity while retaining the distinctive quinoa character. The Fairtrade certification means the Bolivian farmers who grow the quinoa receive a fair price for their crop — a detail that adds genuine feel-good factor to an already excellent spirit.
At £35.25, Fair Quinoa Vodka is priced competitively against premium grain vodkas, and it offers something none of them can match: genuine novelty. Serve it neat to appreciate the unique character, or in a Martini where the nutty notes can add intrigue.
