With National Vodka Day coming up, why not celebrate with X MUSE Vodka — the first blended barley vodka inspired by the spirit-making traditions of Scotland.

Pronounced ‘tenth muse,’ X MUSE is a fusion of two heritage barley varieties — Plumage Archer and Maris Otter — each distilled separately and masterfully combined, using the finest local ingredients sourced from across Scotland and England.

X MUSE cocktails are available to celebrate with at London venues such as The Connaught, Claridges, Bacchanalia and Mount St. Restaurant. There will also be a series of artist-inspired cocktails available throughout the whole month of October at The Gothic Bar at Midland Grand and The Mondrian hotel, in honour of Frieze Art Fair.

Or if you prefer to mix a drink yourself, X MUSE is available to purchase through their website, Amazon, Master of Malt, Amathus and other major drinks retailers. For further inspiration, a compendium of all X MUSE cocktails and recipes can be found here.
