Arbikie Haar is a wheat vodka from the Arbikie Highland Estate on Scotland's east coast, distilled from heirloom Zulu wheat grown on the family farm and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
Arbikie overlooks the dramatic Lunan Bay, and Haar is named after the soft, rolling sea fog that often envelops the distillery. It is the estate's first wheat-based vodka, made with a field-to-bottle ethos from ingredients sourced directly on the farm, by an independently owned family distillery whose history on the land stretches back 400 years.
The heirloom Zulu wheat gives a naturally buttery, sweet and creamy flavor, with hints of vanilla, spice and caramel.
A characterful Scottish vodka for sipping as well as mixing.
