Nelson's Gold® Caramel + Vodka, 50cl

International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) medal winner, July 2019

Nelson’s Gold® is our ode to the sweeter side of life: a delicate blend of our premium English vodka and handmade caramel, made with care at the Wild Knight Distillery.

The caramel gives the liqueur a delectable, mellow sweetness. But there are also some beautiful darker notes in the blend’s flavour profile, that will have you savouring it a while, before it’s down the hatch.

And yes, that was a nautical pun.

We think Nelson’s Gold has a hint of cinder toffee or honeycomb about it – a flavour-match made in heaven for the earthier barley varietal vodka that forms the base of the drink.

It is exceptionally smooth, with a scent that it is both delicate and deeply desirable. There’s no bad way to drink Nelson’s Gold.

Very good ways to drink it include:

• Cold, over ice, in good company.
• With, or over desserts, such as ice cream and chocolate brownies.
• In a flute of your favourite fizz.

Not content with merely tasting and smelling divine, Nelson’s Gold is quite a looker, with a gorgeous colour that might be best described as amber or nectar-like.

The spirit comes in a striking glass bottle with an antique gold pewter label and a wax seal. You could well imagine it finding a berth in the captain’s quarters of Norfolk’s famous naval hero.
