A bottle of golden Silvertear Vintage birch sap vodka lying on its side on a white background

The only vodka in the UK to get three stars at Great Taste 2026.

Silvertear Vintage is a single small batch, made once a year and seasoned with wild birch leaves, buds, catkins and cambium bark. It's soft and clean with a gentle herbal note underneath.

So why is it so smooth? Most vodka is brought down to bottling strength with water. We use birch sap, tapped straight from the tree, and it makes up 60% of every bottle. The sap carries a trace of natural sugars and minerals that round off the burn and give the vodka a silky weight in the mouth. Try it neat and you'll see what the judges meant.

“This is a real standout and unique vodka. The texture is so smooth and refined, whilst the flavour is elegantly sweet. The finish is lengthy and clean.”

A bottle of Silvertear Nature vodka on coastal rocks as a wave breaks behind it

Made by the East Lothian coast.

We're a small independent team, fed up with the same old suspects, so we make the drinks we want to pour. Small batch, real flavour and all inspired by hedgerows, forests, hills and the coastlines near by.

Don't just take our word for it.

“Gorgeous. We bought a bottle up at Edinburgh Castle and love it so much. Beautiful flavour, warming, and a sweet taste of whiskey on your lips ... beautiful.”
“Love it, the ELDER berry is by far my partners favourite drink. Highly recommended.”
“Lovely fruity whisky liqueur which you can drink neat or have has a cocktail with Prosecco. Tastes amazing!”
