Vusa African Vodka, 70cl

Product Information

For too long the spirits industry has neglected the quality, craft and produce that exists in our continent.

Spearhead Spirits Group

In a bid to distance itself from Russia, Stolichnaya vodka is working to rebrand itself as Stoli. The brand, which is based in Latvia, has also announced it is no longer sourcing ingredients from Russia. And while rum is often associated with sunnier climates (such as the Caribbean), and tequila coming strictly from Mexico, vodka is a much more global spirit. We tested bottles from here in the UK and across Europe, with our winning bottle surprisingly coming from South Africa. How we test vodkaWhat was once called 58 Gin, is now 58 & Co, as the brand moves into other spirit categories. The vodka is a simple, straight-forward affair, using nothing but 100% British wheat. Vusa’s superior smoothness is so surprising you’ll take a second sip, just to make sure. Why is this the smoothest Vodka you’ll ever taste? 99% of Vodkas are made with wheat, potatoes or corn. Not Vusa. Next up is filtering, which gives vodka its clean mouthfeel. Although some craft distillers choose to skip this step altogether to impart a more unique flavour. For a long time, vodka’s appeal was its neutrality. Not so these days, with brands highlighting just how flavoursome the spirit can be. Until now, africa hasn’t been a major player in the vodka scene but this is a bottle that’s making us wake up and pay attention”

Vusa Vodka is premium vodka from South Africa, distilled in small batches using a copper pot still. The team uses sugar cane grown in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal on the East Coast, which gives Vusa Vodka a delightfully sweet touch. For the gin fans out there, this is the vodka to try. Its clean, herbaceous nose gave an impression of juniper, with botanical lemon oil following on the palate. Having only launched in 2021, this British vodka (made from homegrown spuds in Notting Hill’s famous Portobello Road) is already making an impact.
