Slingsby Vodka
The Harrogate distiller famous for its gin has made its first foray into vodka, crafted using the finest English wheat, seven times distilled and blended with spring water from the world-famous Harrogate aquifer. A bold characterful spirit with a soft and elegantly smooth finish makes it versatile enough to savour neat or mix into your favourite cocktail to get you in the festival spirit.

Libations Spiced Rum
Kicking off with a sell-out launch in Victoria Gate just over a year ago, Libations founder Rory Armstrong turned his hand from working with a notable Yorkshire gin distillery to creating his own small batch artisan rum here in Leeds. Hardy Yorkshire heather, Madagascan vanilla, cinnamon, clove and orange peel combine with honey from North Yorkshire hives to create an oak-aged rum sure to get your tastebuds fired up for an evening of festivities.
