THOSE in Dreghorn on Monday may have noticed a slightly out of the ordinary vehicle on the roads.

That would be because the official van of global alcohol brand Au Vodka paid a visit to one of the village's convenience stores.

The Welsh-based brand sent their vehicle to the Mace in Dreghorn on Monday - and it was certainly an eye-catching visit.

That is because the VW Transporter van is wrapped in a shimmering chrome gold colour - matching that of the brand's iconic vodka bottle.

The Mace store offers a number of Au Vodka's products - which the van delivered upon its visit.

This includes some of their quirky flavoured vodkas, like the recently advertised golden caramel and bubblegum flavours - which the Mace sells alongside a free Au glass.

The Au Vodka brand itself is an interesting one. It began with two Welsh friends, Charlie Morgan and Jackson Quinn, who felt they had found a gap in the market.

They then began in 2016, selling around 2,000 bottles to bars around their home city of Swansea.

Fast forward and the company now manufactures 35,000 bottles daily and is sold in over 40 countires across the globe - including Dubai, Australia and parts of the USA.

The pair have also forged a very lucrative partnership along the way - with  DJ, producer and TV presenter Charlie Sloth becoming a business partner.

So while the brand's appearance in Dreghorn was brief, it was certainly one that was hard to miss.
