X Muse Vodka Review
PR Samples – I was kindly sent a bottle of X Muse Vodka for consideration on my blog.
Are you looking for a new tipple to enjoy, do you love a good Vodka? Would you like to try one made right here in the UK, that offers a unique smooth flavour? Then let me introduce you to X Muse.
X Muse Vodka
While Scotland is known for its spirit-making, it isn’t normally vodka. However, X Muse (pronounced Tenth Muse) is here to show you just how well they can make it.
Offering a unique barley-blended vodka (the first from Scotland) it draws on both traditional and new methods of making spirits. X Muse uses two varieties of heritage barley within its blend and also draws water from the ancient aquifer at the heart of Jupiter Artland. It is partly due to this exceptionally pure water that X Muse has its flavour. While the bottle draws its look from the art piece Cells of Life which was once a part of the estate.
You may have realised that the name links to Greek Mythology, where there were 9 muses who sparked art and creativity. The tenth muse however is unnamed, unknown, representing all that is unseen and unknown. For others, she is seen as the muse above all muses who pushes us towards perfect harmony and balance.
It is from these ideas that X Muse sees its vodka, from the writing hidden under its wax seal which says; Plura Latent, Quam Patent (more is hidden than revealed), to its ingredients and flavour working in perfect harmony.
Incredibly X Muse took three years to create, although when you look through its story, the amount of thought that has gone into the bringing together of the blend, the art and the creativity behind it, it is of little surprise.
What We Thought of X Muse.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I don’t drink alcohol. However, I have a few people I can call on when I need alcohol reviewing. In fact, they have turned into quite a pair of connoisseurs over the years. I have even been asked lately when the next bottle was to be expected. Luckily they didn’t have to wait too long as X Muse was on the way.
A crystal clear vodka, which is perfect for drinking alone, or mixing X Muse really offers something different. With a smooth texture and aromatic flavour, it is one to not be missed.
If you would like an idea to taste, I’ve been told that serving it with a slice of lemon, chilled sparkling elderflower pressé and topped off with a small dash of peach liqueur is a must.
X Muse Vodka is available to buy now at the X Muse website, Amazon (affiliate link) and a range of drink retailers, where it comes at £55 for 70cl.

I’d try it with my husband and would like to see what it taste like compared to other vodkas
I do like vodka but this sounds so special. Reading about the water that’s used, the barley, all the care that’s gone into making it . I would love to try it. Shall I allow my husband a taste. Maybe.
I’m more of a whisky fan, but I’m sure my mother would appreciate it.
would love to try this with my wife, never really heard of it
it looks unique and hopefully fill that gap now that my usual Russian vodka if off the table
would love to try this with my hubby, never really heard of it
I’ve never tried this brand before, me and my husband love trying new drinks so I’d love to share this with him.
I’m feeling festive now!
My sister loves vodka it is her tipple so if I should be so lucky to win, I would give it to her as I am such a lightweight, one Bacardi Breezer and I am drunk and anybody’s!?!
I don’t drink very often now, but vodka is my tipple, and I would share this with my 2 close friends who are also not averse to a drop of vodka!
It sounds like a lot of work has gone into designing and producing the vodka. I love the shape of the bottle! I would drink this with my friends!
I would share with my husband and make some cocktails with it – sounds fab!
Looks like such a great ethos and I’m sure the vodka would be great. I’d mix a few cocktails with my husband.
I would love to try it in a cocktail and I know my daughters would be happy to try it out with me
I’d love to make cocktails with my husband and feature them on my cocktail Instagram 😀
I would like to try a good British sourced vodka and enjoy it with my daughter
What a welcoming vodka site. The bottle looks very sleek and attractive. I would love to share it with my husband as we both enjoy a vodka from time to time.
A lot of planning went into this drink – I am not a big vodka drinker but it is a must for family cocktails
What an interesting name. I actually know very little about the muses in Greek mythology so I actually learnt a lot from this article. I personally don’t drink much either but this will make a lovely gift to my neighbour who does drink.
This sounds lovely and will easily fit into our lifestyle
