Blueberry Soda 12

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.

A little birdy tells us that this goes well with a certain Scottish blended Whisky.
