With party season around the corner, and just the weekend too - we’re all on the hunt for more affordable booze, right? So you can imagine our delight when we found out Marks and Spencer have just launched a brand-new collection of ten, top-quality spirits - helping customers take their drinks at home to the next level, without breaking the bank!
At just £18 for a 70cl bottle, this incredible-value range offers a full selection of staple spirits for cocktail novices and expert at-home mixologists alike! From gins and vodkas to spiced rum, French brandy and blended Scotch whisky.
The range also includes an exciting all-time first for M&S: its very own M&S tequila! A peppery silver-grade tequila, this spirit is made from Blue Agave and produced in collaboration with a family-run distillery in Guadalajara, Mexico - which has been running for almost 80 years.
As well as being extremely affordable, each bottle carries the Distilled seal which guarantees that signature M&S quality at its heart: after all, there is a reason that the ISC (International Spirits Challenge) awarded them Supermarket Own-Brand Spirits Range of the Year this year!
All three vodkas in the range are five times distilled and charcoal-filtered for purity; the three gins are triple distilled and made with our exclusive blend of seven botanicals; and we’ve given both the Blended Scotch Whisky and XO Brandy further ageing time – eight and five years, respectively.
Best of all? All are made without any artificial colourings or flavourings! What more would you expect from M&S?!
Lead Product Developer for spirits at M&S, Jenny Rea, said: “We know many of our customers discovered their inner mixologist over the past two years while bars and pubs were closed, and so like to keep their drinks cabinets well stocked with the essentials. Our new Distilled range is all about helping them to find the best versions of their favourite spirits at a great price, so they can continue to enjoy the classics while also experimenting with new cocktail creations. As well as being a great addition to any drinks trolley, these bottles would also make fantastic Christmas presents.”
So what are you waiting for? The new M&S Distilled range is available to buy in store and on the M&S website right now!
