JOHN & MICHAEL DISTILLERY
BLUNAR CRETAN VODKA 700ML
BLUNAR VODKA MADE IN CRETE
Blunar Vodka is a premium, handcrafted spirit born from the heart of Crete, crafted at the John Michael Distillery in the stunning village of Krista.
Nestled high in the mountains, this serene and unspoiled region offers the perfect environment for distillation. The distillery draws on both time-honoured techniques and modern innovations, creating a vodka that reflects the unique character of its surroundings. Here, the finest local grains and crystal-clear mountain water come together to create a spirit of exceptional purity and refinement.
The foundation of Blunar Vodka is its carefully sourced ingredients, with local grains providing a rich base. The water used in Blunar Vodka is sourced from the Katharo springs, known for its naturally filtered, mineral-rich properties.
This pristine water lends a smooth, velvety texture to the vodka, while the triple-distillation process ensures absolute clarity and an exquisite, refined flavour profile. The result is a vodka with a clean, balanced taste and a subtle hint of sweetness, complemented by a delicate citrus finish that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
Crafted with precision and attention to detail, Blunar Vodka boasts a refined smoothness that is perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the base for a variety of cocktails. The sleek, modern bottle design is a nod to the distillery's commitment to both craftsmanship and elegance, making Blunar a standout addition to any bar collection.
Blunar Vodka’s unique flavour profile also makes it an ideal ingredient for sophisticated cocktails.
For a refreshing twist, try it in a Blunar Lemon Fizz, a cocktail that celebrates the vodka’s natural citrus notes. Simply mix Blunar Vodka with freshly squeezed lemon juice, a touch of simple syrup, and top it off with sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lemon wheel for a light, invigorating drink that highlights the vodka’s smooth finish.

Another excellent choice is the Katharo Mule, a Mediterranean take on the classic Moscow Mule. Combine Blunar Vodka with fresh lime juice, ginger beer, and a dash of bitters. Serve over ice in a copper mug, garnished with a sprig of rosemary or a slice of cucumber, to bring out the refreshing herbaceous notes of the Crete landscape.
