flavour identity
-
Smooth, savoury and oceanic.
Hand-harvested Cornish kelp brings a deep coastal salinity and silky mouthfeel to the vodka. Its natural polysaccharides soften the spirit, eliminating harshness and giving it a clean, pure finish. A taste of the tide — rich, umami and unmistakably maritime.
-
Bright, piney and refreshing.
Juniper berries add a crisp aromatic lift, echoing classic gin botanicals. Their resinous character cuts through the smoothness of the kelp, sharpening the vodka’s clarity and adding a brisk, invigorating note to the nose and palate.
-
Zesty, clean and vibrant.
Sun-dried lemon peel infuses the vodka with a bold citrus brightness that cuts through the spirit’s richness. It evokes the sharp tang of sea air and gives the vodka its crisp, refreshing edge.
-
Warming, aromatic and subtly sweet.
This distinctively shaped spice adds a delicate whisper of liquorice and spice to the vodka. It deepens the flavour profile, adding warmth and complexity to the fresh coastal base, and lingers gently on the finish.
-
Green, fresh and lightly savoury.
Dill introduces a gentle herbal depth, conjuring coastal gardens and salty winds. Its bright, verdant flavour balances the oceanic smoothness of the kelp, and adds a soft vegetal note to the finish.
-
Crisp, citrusy and lightly peppery.
Crushed coriander seeds lift the mid-palate with bright, zesty top notes. They act as a bridge between the citrus and herbal elements, sharpening the edges of the flavour with a clean, dry bite.
Tasting notes
-
Bright citrus zest leads, carried on a coastal breeze. A faint saline mist lifts the aromatic herbs: dill fronds, coriander seed, and juniper, underpinned by a soft marine depth from the kelp. A touch of star anise lingers at the edge — barely there, but warming.
-
Clean and silky on entry. A rush of lemon peel sharpness is quickly balanced by herbaceous dill and coriander. Juniper brings a gentle dryness, adding structure without dominating. The kelp unfolds mid-palate — soft, oceanic, and umami-rich — giving an almost creamy mouthfeel. A delicate spice from star anise rounds the sip.
-
Long, subtle, and evolving. The briny-sweet earthiness of kelp lingers, interwoven with citrus oils and a whisper of dry herbs. No burn, no harshness — just an elegant taper into silence.
Our Original Product
Kelp Vodka was our very first creation — the original spirit that started it all. Loved by thousands and refined through countless small batches, it represents more than just a drink. It’s a piece of our heritage, bound to the coast that raised us and the craft we’ve spent years mastering.
We set out to bottle the essence of Cornwall — not just its flavour, but its feeling. The salt air, the crashing waves, the silence of low tide. Seaweed felt like the natural key. Not only is it steeped in local tradition, but through deep research and experimentation, we found it does something remarkable to vodka: it softens it. Removes the harshness. Adds depth.
After hundreds of hours of ultrasonic testing, infusing, filtering, and tasting, we landed on our signature blend — a spirit that’s clean, crisp, and smoother than anything we’d tried before. Kelp Vodka was born.
It’s not just part of the coast. It’s part of Cornwall. Part of us.
How To Drink Kelp Vodka
Serve it simply, sip it slowly, or stir it into something spectacular.
NEAT
Pure and clean, this is where Kelp Vodka shines. Sip slowly to savour its smooth, ocean-kissed finish and subtle citrus complexity.
Over Ice/ Frozen
Serve chilled straight from the freezer for a velvety, almost creamy texture with zero burn. Or pour over a large ice cube to slowly reveal layers of citrus, herb, and coastal depth as it opens. Both ways highlight the vodka’s signature smoothness.
In a Cocktail
Elevate the classic. Pair Kelp Vodka with dry vermouth and a twist of lemon for a crisp, maritime take on the Martini — fresh, sophisticated, and unmistakably Cornish.
FAQs
