Blur 69 premium vodka launch with a bang in Quirk, Glasgow

Blur 69 vodka is making its mark in Scotland with a busy start to the year. William our director has made a strong introduction to the industry by securing a prime pitch at the Scot Hot Trade Show at the SEC. The event resulted in samples given out to thousands of visitors, all of whom gave amazing feedback. Not only on the great-tasting vodka but the design and shape of the bottles too.

Having had a busy two days at Scot Hot, we are now focusing on creating a bespoke menu with industry-leading Scott Gemmel from Drink Think and LA Bar Tenders, who will be focusing on a list of cocktails for each flavour which will show bars how well our flavoured vodkas work either as a perfect serve or within a cocktail.

We are an ultra-premium Scottish Vodka and thought it was only right to supply the Ultra-premium venues. We are now being stocked within Cameron house, the Dakota hotel, The Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort, and the Radisson Red to name a few.

March has been an extremely busy month for the brand ending with a launch at Quirk in Glasgow. Well-known guests were in attendance, including Still Game star Jane McCarry and ‘A place in the sun’ host Jean Johansson. Guests were treated to a fantastic performance by flamethrowing, stilt-standing dancers from Flex UK and music entertainment from the talented sax player Tony Gilmour.

March ends with us having secured a meeting with wholesaler Inverarity Morton and United C&C which will see us able to service more on-trade and off-trade locations across the central belt of Scotland.

Sunday the 25th of March saw us invited to our stockist Gleddoch Hotel & Spa in Inverclyde, to provide drinks for Scottish & other world football legends at their private bar. There we served the likes of world cup winner Emanuel Petit, and champion league winner Michael Essien, Rangers Legends Barry Ferguson & Kris Boyd and many more football legends.

The rest of the year is set to be just as exciting with our calendar packed until December 2023, the journey for this brand is an exciting one. Our director William Woodburn says ‘we are really excited about the year ahead for Blur 69 Vodka, having noticed a gap in the market for an actual flavoured vodka we feel that our range of flavours and exceptional smoothness gives us the edge over those already on the market’.
