Heritage & Distillery
Cambridge Distillery has earned its reputation primarily through its exceptional range of gins — spirits that have won numerous international awards and established the distillery as one of the most respected small producers in the British Isles. The Meadow Mist Vodka represents the team's application of the same exacting production standards to a different category, using East Anglian wheat and spring water to produce a crisp, clean vodka that showcases the quality of its raw materials without the complexity of botanical infusion.
Tasting Notes
The nose is clean and appealing — East Anglian wheat, gentle floral notes, light citrus, and the fresh, clean quality of spring water. There is no pretension here, only quiet competence. On the palate, Meadow Mist is crisp and clean, with smooth wheat character and a subtle mineral quality that adds modest interest to what is fundamentally a straightforward wheat vodka. The body is light, the profile fresh and bright, and the overall impression is of a spirit designed to serve as a cocktail ingredient of unimpeachable quality.
The finish is medium in length, crisp and clean, with a gentle wheat fade. Cambridge's distilling expertise is evident in the absence of off-notes and the smoothness of the spirit, even if the profile lacks the individuality that distinguishes the distillery's gin output.
Verdict
Cambridge Distillery Meadow Mist is a well-made wheat vodka from a producer whose credentials are beyond question. It performs its intended role — as a clean, crisp base for cocktails — with the quiet efficiency one expects from a team of Cambridge's calibre. A reliable choice at a fair price.
