Verdant Toffee Vodka is an exquisite, rich, buttery liqueur created by Dundee’s pioneering Verdant Spirits. Blending silky-smooth grain vodka with rich, caramelised butterscotch and toasted sugar notes, this 22% ABV expression hits the sweet spot between indulgent sweetness and sophisticated spirit character. Whether enjoyed neat or over ice, poured over vanilla ice cream, mixed with cloudy apple juice or shaken into a decadent Espresso Martini twist, it offers an irresistible treat for lovers of fine vodka and liqueurs.
Base Spirit: Verdant Toffee Vodka starts with a crisp, multi-distilled neutral grain spirit providing a clean, velvety canvas.
Flavour Profile: Infused with natural caramelised sugar, buttery toffee, and subtle vanilla notes.
Balance & Strength: Sweetness is carefully balanced against a 22% ABV strength.
Mouthfeel & Finish: Delivers a lush, coating mouthfeel without the cloying, heavy finish common in mass-market flavoured spirits.
Crafted in the historic city of Dundee along the Firth of Tay, Verdant Spirits draws inspiration from Scotland’s rich tradition of confectionery and distilling excellence. Known historically for its maritime heritage and inventive spirit, Dundee’s cool climate and pure water sources provide the perfect setting for small-batch spirit production.
Verdant Spirits is a small craft distillery which was originally founded in 2017 in Engine Room 2 within the historic Edwardian jute mill complex in Dundee. Established by former Formula 1 engineer Andrew Mackenzie, it was the first commercial distillery in Dundee in over 50 years, soon establishing a reputation for relentless quality and precision blending.
The company announced itself to the UK craft scene by winning Scottish Gin of the Year for its inaugural dry gin (Dundee’s first gin). The company would go on to expand production into various liqueurs, rums and vodkas.
Sadly, the distillery closed in 2023. However, in February 2024, the brand and its legacy were saved when Stargazey Spirits (founded by Joe Barber) acquired Verdant Spirits, bringing the gin brand back to life alongside other craft labels in their portfolio – Wrecking Coast Spirits from Cornwall and, much more local to Fareham Wine Cellar in Hampshire, the Portsmouth Distillery.

The palate is smooth and rounded, delivering luscious flavours of salted caramel, golden syrup, and toasted marshmallow.
The finish is remarkably long, clean and warming, leaving a delicate sweetness lingering alongside gentle grain warmth.
Serve Verdant Toffee Vodka well-chilled over crushed ice, or drizzle a measure directly over hot apple crumble, bread and butter pudding, or a good vanilla ice cream.
For cocktail enthusiasts, it makes a luxurious addition to an Espresso Martini (replacing or complementing the coffee liqueur), an upgraded Hot Chocolate, or mixed with ginger beer and fresh lime for a delicious Toffee Mule.
