Unfiltered malted barley vodka

Steam Smoothed. Never Filtered.

True rarity

Puffing Billy Steam Vodka is unfiltered malted barley vodka from The Borders Distillery. Regular filtration would strip away the delicious flavours and soft textures of the barley, so instead, the task of smoothing the spirit is handed to Puffing Billy, a rare Carterhead Still.

OUR DISTILLERY

Steam smooth

The spirit vapours are steamed through charcoal inside the still itself rather than filtered as a liquid. This preserves the delicious character and texture of our locally-grown barley.  It’s the only vodka in the world made this way, and the result is brimful of character with an incredible creamy mouthfeel.

The malted barley gives puffing billy steam vodka a rich, creamy texture. Its full, rounded smoothness provides an excellent balance to sharp and dry mixer flavours like tonic water or ginger beer.

STEAMY MARY

The vodka has tropical fruit, citrus, and grassy notes in the nose. These delicate elements can work well with berry flavours or cherry. Alongside the creamy texture, there is a subtle malt character. This can balance stronger citrus flavours or sour fruits such as grapefruit, cranberry, or gooseberry.
