We’re giving away a FREE Blavod black zip-up cooler jacket when you buy a bottle of Blavod Black vodka, while stocks last! Blavod is triple-distilled to achieve a pure vodka coloured with black catechu to give its distinctive colour. Black catechu is a herb extract from a tree native to Burma and East India. The vodka is ‘outrageously smooth’ and floats on top of most mixers, giving a really impressive visual effect when creating cocktails.
