DESCRIPTION

These berries are a fussy bunch.
That's probably why you'll struggle to find a natural blueberry drink that hasn't been cooked beyond belief.

A gentle introduction to Scotland's finest Blueberries.

Back in 2022 we trialled two micro batches of X_Blueberry and the response was incredible, so it was time to include this exciting development into our annual Scottish Seasonal line up.

This year we are working closely with the team at Peter Marshall Farms in Blairgowrie to bring you some vibrant expressions of fruit that you wouldn't normally expect from our cooler climate.

As soon as we get these little bad boys to our site in Glasgow, we hand wash and sort each Blueberry by hand. The best of the bunch then go through a weekend long maceration to pull the flavour from the skin and pulp, this extracts that royal purple hue and beautiful 'bubblegum' aromas. This is a technique we pinched from the winemaking world called 'carbonic maceration' but we'll explain that another time!

Our X_Series feedback from you lot highlighted that you wanted a little more something-something in your glass. Because of this we upped the organic sugar content slightly and trialled some vegetal/earthy spices to bring these berries to life when bubbled.

This year we reached out to one of our favourite stockists, Johnnie Walker Princess Street to help bring this new product to life. After a couple of sessions working with their team at their incredible R&D development bar, we landed on two exciting botanicals we hadn't used before: Green Peppercorns and Douglas Fir Pine Needles.

The pepper supports the blueberry's softness, and the pine needles lift it's aroma. At least that's the idea! As always, you will be the judge of that.

Once the ingredients are bound together in ice-cold Scottish freshwater we filter, carbonate, and seal this delightful taste of Autumn into our wee cans.

Finally, we pasteurise and wrap them up with love ready to send to you.

PAIRING

AND THAT'S A WRAP

How We Do It:

Warning: attempting to recreate this at home may result in disappointment, purple countertops, and deep existential regret.

We’ve done the hard part - you just need to crack a can.

1. SCOTTISH BLUEBERRIES

Plump Scottish Blueberries are raced to Glasgow every Autumn. We macerate these berries with raw Organic Cane Sugar and Dried Green Peppercorns to create a rich base ready for blending. This cold maceration allows the berries to relax and hand over their silky texture and colour.

2. EARTHY SPICE

Once we’ve captured that purpley hue and thick base, it’s time to support our Bad Boy with bright aromatics. Fresh Green Pepper is steeped on this fresh base before folding in with our Douglas Fir Pine Needles Extract. A double spice maceration first provides depth, with the second providing lift off. When we’re content with our three components, we’re ready for bubbles.

3. THE ART OF THE BLEND

We slowly start separating the fruit from the liquid, ensuring balanced flavour in every sip. Filtration helps brighten our base before an overnight carbonation cycle, helping to impart a gentler fizz; one that lets the fruit shine through.

RAW INGREDIENTS

Real Flavour

Fruit from the farm, flavour from the fruit.

We believe that the best flavour comes from the freshest produce and drinks don't need to be adulterated with artificial ingredients.

But you will be the real judge of that.

GUILT FREE DRINKING

Soft Drinks For Adults

We were fed up with soft drinks being treated like a second class citizen.

These sodas are pure expressions of the fruit itself. We create layers of flavour that should unravel as carbonation subsides and the liquid warms in your hand.

Complex, yes. Sophisticated?

We're working on that.
