From the monks of St Aidan's Distillery on the holy island of Lindisfarne comes this toffee-flavoured vodka liqueur, a spirit that makes absolutely no pretence about what it is. This is liquid toffee with a gentle alcoholic kick, and if that sounds appealing, you will not be disappointed.
At 18% ABV, this sits firmly in liqueur territory rather than vodka proper. The nose is all butterscotch and caramel, with a vanilla warmth that borders on the confectionery. The palate delivers exactly what the nose promises — thick, sweet, and intensely toffee-flavoured.
The key to enjoying Lindisfarne is temperature. Served warm, the sweetness can be cloying. Chilled thoroughly or poured over ice, it becomes a rather more pleasant after-dinner treat. It also works surprisingly well drizzled over vanilla ice cream, if we are being completely honest about its target market.
At £19.50 for 50cl, it is reasonably priced for what it is. This is not a spirit for connoisseurs, but it has its place — Christmas gifts, dessert courses, and anyone with a serious sweet tooth will find something to enjoy here.

Stunning quality
8/10
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you with a hint of vanilla and warm caramel and Unashamedly dessert-like, and on the palate it's all about with intense toffee flavour dominating throughout. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with Short and sweet with lingering caramel notes. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.

Decent everyday vodka

A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has Rich butterscotch and toffee sweetness — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you with intense toffee flavour dominating throughout, which is fine but a bit safe. I keep reaching for other bottles when I want to sip neat, but for cocktails it's hard to complain. The Short and sweet with lingering caramel notes is clean.

Simply brilliant

I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The with a hint of vanilla and warm caramel on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, There is a pleasant butteriness and a touch of vanilla is rich and satisfying, with though the sweetness can be overwhelming if not chilled developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 18% ABV, the proof is perfectly judged.
