This weekend we are delighted to be releasing the very first batch of our premium birch sap vodka!
Many of you might know Esker better for our range of premium and flavoured gins, but we have also been busy experimenting with vodka production over the last couple years and we can’t wait to share the newest member of the Esker family with you all…

Here we are looking at a new month, and another long weekend (for some!). As a team, we're rarely fully 'off' but there something lovely about the summer long weekends and the occasional holiday Monday. To celebrate the start of the summer, we thought we'd give Esker Scottish Raspberry Gin a shot in the limelight and feature it as our 'gin of the month'.

Between early Christmas snow, storm damage and new variants, we weren’t quite sure we would get to the end of year with any Christmas markets or cocktails in us … but the Esker Spirits Team are very thankful to be sharing these cocktails with you and having had the chance to see so some of you at the markets too!
This close to Christmas and the start of another year, there’s nothing for it but to try and get some rest with an Esker Spirits Christmas serve or cocktail. Try one of these cocktails over the festive season, hand picked by the Esker Spirits Team based on some of our favourite ways to drink Esker at Christmas.

We’re pretty proud of the Esker Spirits family of Scottish Gin, Vodka and (very recently) Esker Honey Whisky and Esker Rum and we understand that it can be tough to choose which spirit to buy for who at Christmas time … so we put together this handy Esker Spirits Christmas Gift Guide! And we won’t judge if that Esker gift is for you either.
Are you feeling festive yet? We have some Christmas news and it’s worth pausing Mariah Carey to read this...
So, this Christmas, we are beyond excited to add two special limited-edition spirits to your Christmas stockings! We have developed a very limited amount of miniature (5cl) Esker Coconut Rum and Esker Honey Whisky and added them both to an Esker Selection Box Ice Cube, alongside Esker Gin and Esker Spiced Pear Vodka (also miniature, 5cl bottles).

With the nights drawing in and leaves falling fast, I think we can safely say Autumn is well and truly here. It’s time to get cosy, look out the Winter wardrobe, light the fire and of course… snuggle up with something delicious in your glass.

The Provenance Festival is a fantastic new food and drink event in the North East of Scotland. Designed to showcase great local producers, The Provenance Festival gives us (the producers) a chance to take the floor and shout extra loud about what we do and why. There is also a part of the festival that focuses on our responsibilities to the environment and being a more sustainable business. What is not to love about that?!

When we started talking about this blog, we knew we were taking a chance… a post about barbecuing in August? It’ll never work! But here we are, blogging about BBQ - and the sun is still shining (here at least!). There is something special about enjoying time outdoors with people we love - and sharing an Esker or two of course.

In our last blog we shared a list of some of our favourite Esker Spirits summer serves (take notes here) and whilst we are partial to a summer cocktail, we are also embracing a new serve on the scene - the hard seltzer.

So here we are - February already, how did that happen? When I wrote my “whoops, it’s February already” post last year we had no idea of the year that was to come and how it would shape so many aspects of our lives.
It’s a little bit hard to believe that Christmas is here again but after the year we have all had, we certainly deserve to treat ourselves to a few tipples over the festive season so here’s some of the best ways to drink Esker this Christmas (or some of our favourite ways to drink Esker this Christmas).

The garlands have been dug out of the loft and the string lights are twinkling away which can only mean one thing for Team Esker… it’s Christmas Market season! And with the markets come the need for some Christmas shopping inspiration - and we’re here to help.

We’ve always been big Christmas fans at Esker Spirits! From the family time, to the (small) break from work, the twinkly lights and not to mention the chance to relax with a glass of something great (and maybe some nibbles – ok, definitely some nibbles). That all sounds like heaven to us!
This year it all feels a little… different. There is so much to look forward to and to look forward for, but more than ever maybe the idea of Christmas shopping is one more thing to deal with when we have enough on our plates.
But – we are here to help!
