being led by a woman, the Sourceabl founders are
looking to capture a share of this massive new market,
potentially making the start-up one of this year’s hottest
new tech stars.
Jessi Frey, Owner of The Great Gutsy and nonexec director of Sourceabl said, “I have been a digital
product developer for the past 15 years, I’ve worked with
companies like Nokia and Microsoft. I have built and
launched and grown several different types of digital
online businesses and I will be leveraging my knowledge
and my experience, to bring Sourceabl to the market and
help it grow.”

From world’s best London Dry Gin to world’s
first London Dry Citrus vodka
NB Distillery’s groundbreaking new
premium spirit set to throw curveball
into vodka market
Steve and Vivienne Muir, the husbandand-wife team behind the award-winning
NB Gin, are now bringing their very own
brand of premium vodka to the market.
But this isn’t just any vodka. NB Distillery,
located in North Berwick, has broken
new ground by producing the world’s first
London Dry Citrus Vodka.
NB London Dry Citrus Vodka is certainly
no ‘flavoured’ vodka. All the taste comes
purely from the botanicals used in the
distillation method - nothing is added after
this. It is simply blended down to bottling
condition at 40 per cent alcohol.
Those who are familiar with NB Gin, which
was recently judged as the world’s best
London Dry Gin, will know just how firmly
NB Distillery is wedded to the London Dry
process. “It’s immensely difficult to control
with a vast number of variables, including
temperature and run time, which can change
the outcome,” explains Steve Muir. “It is only
this method which allows us to create the
most subtle of variations to flavour and our
smooth and distinctive long taste.”
A batch of 300 bottles of the new London
Dry Citrus Vodka has already been snapped
up by Lockett Brothers in North Berwick, and
will go on sale from Thursday 28th May. More
batches and wider distribution to follow.
