  • Slim clear Cuba bottle with Dry Lemon label
    Item no.: 2229-101778

    The rest of the family is about colour and sugar. Dry Lemon declines. Tart lemon over a clean vodka base, and not a great deal else, which is the entire reason it exists.

    Expert description

    Cuba Dry Lemon is a Danish Vodka Spirit Drink from Spritfabrikken Danmark in Kolding, made with triple distilled vodka carrying a lightly tart lemon flavour and bottled at 30%.

    It is the driest bottle in the range and was developed for people who do not want things too sweet. Where the strawberry and orange lean on boiled sweets, this one sits closer to the peel of a lemon, and the sugar has been turned down noticeably.

    The base is vodka distilled three times, and because the strength is set at 30% the label reads spirit drink made with vodka. The producer recommends it chilled, shaken with ice or lengthened with soda or juice, and it is built for long drinks rather than for sipping neat.

    In the glass it behaves like a mild vodka with the lemon already added: you do not need to bring nearly as much acid of your own. The house suggestions are a Lemon Drop or a Tom Collins, but it also works with plain sparkling water and a slice of lemon.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh lemon peel first, bright and light. Behind it sits a mild sweetness and a trace of elderflower.

    Palate

    Tart and crisp with the lemon up front. Sweetness is present but takes up less room than in the rest of the range, and the vodka base gives structure without sharpness.

    Finish

    Short and dry. The citrus peel lingers for a moment, and there is no syrupy tail behind it.

    One of the range’s best known drinks was invented behind the bar at the old Crazy Daisy in Haderslev. A bartender mixed the caramel variant with lime and green soda, and the result was named Champusbrus because it tasted like the ice lolly of the same name.

  • Plastic one litre jerrycan with Radius Tinktur label and high strength warning
    Item no.: 2222555-779

    96% is not a number anyone picks for comfort. It is the strength an ordinary distillation column can actually reach, and it belongs in one place in the kitchen: with whoever needs the last of what a root, a bark or a lump of resin has to give.

    Please note: This item does not come in a glass bottle but in a square 1 litre plastic jerrycan (UN approved) with a 32 mm cap. The content has a very high alcohol strength, is readily flammable and must be kept away from children and open flames.

    Expert description

    Radius Tinktur Vodka Økologisk 96% is an Organic Danish Vodka from Radius Distillery at Oremandsgaard estate, bottled at 96% in a one litre container.

    It is the strongest thing the house makes, and it is meant as an ingredient rather than a drink. Where 60% is a ready-mixed extraction base, 96% is a starting point you assemble yourself: you decide how much water goes in, and with that which compounds come out of the plant.

    That matters for everything that does not give up easily. Resins, propolis, vanilla pods, dry roots and bark need a high alcohol share before anything happens at all. In return the recipe has to be followed: too much alcohol can precipitate mucilage and pectin instead of extracting them, and the yield suffers.

    The base is organic and distilled clean, so it does not lay its own flavour on top of whatever you are working with. Radius Distillery gathers its raw materials within the shortest possible distance of the still house at Oremandsgaard estate — hence the name — and spends most of the year on gin, aquavit, liqueur and whisky.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Piercing and almost colourless in aroma. There is no fusel and nothing sweet, only clean ethanol with a faint mineral trace behind it.

    Palate

    Cannot be judged undiluted. Brought down to drinking strength with water, it shows a dry, straightforward profile with a faint sweet edge and no rough corners.

    Finish

    Clean and quick. The heat lets go fast and leaves no off note behind to disturb the herbs.

    Did you know?

    96% is not a marketing figure but a physical limit. Ethanol and water form an azeotrope at around 96 percent by volume, where vapour and liquid share the same composition. Ordinary distillation cannot climb past that point, however many times the spirit is run through.

    Expert description

    Radius Tinktur Vodka Økologisk 60% is an Organic Danish Vodka from Radius Distillery at Oremandsgaard estate, bottled at 60% in a one litre container.

    Radius Distillery sits in the middle of the estate near Præstø in southern Zealand and takes its name from its own working method: raw materials are gathered within the shortest possible radius of the still house. Day to day the house concentrates on gin, aquavit, liqueur and whisky, and the distiller works with the laboratory tape measure in one hand and his nose in the other.

    This release is not meant as a sipping vodka. A tincture is an alcohol extraction, and strength decides what comes across. Water pulls out tannins, acids and plant mucilage, while alcohol takes the essential oils, resins and bitter compounds. At 60% you get both at once, which is exactly why so many herbal recipes settle at that level.

    The base should keep quiet. It is distilled clean enough that lemon balm tastes of lemon balm rather than of spirit, and the organic certification means no residues travel from the field into the jar. Caraway, sea buckthorn and horsetail are among the plants it is regularly put to work on.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sharp and clear. Behind the alcohol lies a slender sweetness and a mineral trace, but there is no fusel weight.

    Palate

    Burning undiluted. Bring the strength down with water and a mild grain sweetness unfolds, leaving the mouth dry and smooth rather than oily.

    Finish

    Short and warm. It clears quickly without leaving an off note, which is the whole point of an extraction base.

  • Bivrost Arctic Vodka bottle with aurora inspired label from Arctic Norway
    Item no.: 059763-615-1036

    At 69 degrees north the Lyngen Alps throw their shadow over a distillery that has grown used to working in the dark. In winter the northern lights stand above the roof for hours. Bivrost takes its name from that very bridge, the one that in Norse mythology connects the world of men with the world of the gods.

    Expert description

    Bivrost Norsk Arctic Vodka is a Norwegian Vodka from Aurora Spirit Distillery, distilled from Arctic barley and bottled at 40%.

    Aurora Spirit Distillery sits in Lyngen in northern Norway, well above the Arctic Circle, and calls itself the world's northernmost distillery. The water comes from the glaciers of the Lyngen Alps: meltwater from ice that froze more than 5,000 years ago and has lain untouched in the mountain ever since. It is filtered, and otherwise handled as little as possible.

    Distillation runs through the full column, 15 plates and a five metre tower, where the spirit is cleaned again and again before it is cut with the glacier water. The result is a vodka without sharp edges, but it has not been polished into nothing. A soft grain character from the barley remains, the kind most heavily distilled vodkas strip away completely.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and cool. A lightly sweet grain note, a suggestion of vanilla and something mineral, close to wet stone.

    Palate

    Soft and almost oily in the mouth. The barley shows up as a mild sweetness, followed by a touch of white pepper.

    Finish

    Short and clean. The sweetness drops away quickly and leaves a cool, mineral impression behind.

  • North Atlantic Subsea Vodka bottle with deep blue label from the Faroe Islands
    Item no.: 059763-615-990

    The water in this bottle waited in the dark for thousands of years while the world above changed seasons over and over. Beneath the seabed by Hestur in the Faroe Islands, deep inside the rock where the Sandoy tunnel was blasted through, the construction crew hit a pocket of crystal clear fresh water, filtered through stone and shut away from sun and salt. Faer Isles Distillery in Vestmanna heard the story and decided to distil it.

    Expert description

    North Atlantic Subsea Vodka is a Faroese Vodka from Faer Isles Distillery, distilled using water drawn 140 metres below the surface of the North Atlantic and bottled at 41.7%.

    The water was found by accident when the contractor NCC drilled the Sandoy tunnel between two of the Faroese islands. A member of the project team had the idea of passing the water on to the distillery, and tests quickly showed it was a thing apart: mineral rich, clean and with a character clearly different from ordinary Faroese rainwater. After its journey through the rock layers the water has picked up minerals that now leave their mark on the taste.

    To the finished vodka the distillery adds a small amount of distilled seaweed from the surrounding waters. That brings a nutty trace and a floral streak playing against the lightly saline base note from the water. It is a deliberate choice from a distillery unafraid to let the raw material speak.

    Faer Isles Distillery was founded by whisky enthusiasts in Vestmanna and funded through crowdfunding with backers in more than 20 countries. Alongside the whisky still maturing in cask they make gin, akvavit and this vodka. Since launch Subsea Vodka has taken gold at the Vodka Masters in the Super Premium category and gold at the IWSC.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Quiet and cautious rather than sharp. A trace of spice sits beneath a clean mineral core, and a faint salty breath reminds you where the water comes from.

    Palate

    Round and full without turning heavy. A light sweetness at the start gives way quickly to a pointed peppery warmth, and the seaweed reads as a discreet nutty layer under the minerality.

    Finish

    Long and warm with a persistent spiciness that builds rather than fades. This is the kind of close you come back to.

  • Poetry Pure vodka bottle in clear glass with artistic black and white label
    Item no.: 059763-615-931

    Kalisz is one of the oldest towns in Poland, and on its edge sits a family distillery now in its third generation. One day an English guitarist walked in with an idea for a vodka that should taste like the martini he had been imagining. He got it made.

    Expert description

    Dave Stewart's Poetry Pure is a Polish Vodka distilled from rye, wheat and a smaller share of corn, six times distilled and bottled at 40%.

    The man on the label is Dave Stewart, one half of Eurythmics and the guitarist behind the sound Annie Lennox sang over. He started Poetry in 2022 with the Swedish investor Johan Holgersson, and the starting point was something as concrete as a conversation about how the ideal martini ought to taste. Production sits with Grupa AWW in Kalisz, where the same family business has been distilling for three generations.

    There is a reason for the grain mix. Rye brings spice and a dryness that keeps the vodka upright. Wheat lays a soft layer underneath, and the small share of corn rounds off the attack with an almost milky sweetness. All rye and it would bite. All wheat and it would turn dull.

    The six distillations are not decoration on the label. Each pass through the column strips out more of the heavier fusel oils, and those are what give a hastily made vodka its sharp, almost stinging feel. Poetry is correspondingly calm to drink neat, and it has taken double gold at international spirits competitions.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dry rye bread character with a lightly peppered edge. Behind it sits a trace of vanilla and something close to a warm bakery.

    Palate

    Soft attack with the wheat leading. Mid palate the rye pepper appears, and the corn adds a discreet sweetness that ties it together.

    Finish

    Clean and medium long. The pepper lingers a little, and no sharp alcohol heat arrives at the end.

  • Elit Night Edition bottle in matte black glass with engraved circles
    Item no.: 22227333-663

    Turn the lights off and the bottle almost disappears. Matte black glass throws back no reflection, and the engraved circles cut across one another like rings around an eclipsed moon. Night Edition was drawn from the things you only see once the sky is dark enough.

    Expert description

    Elit Vodka Night Edition is a Latvian Vodka from Stoli Group, distilled from wheat and bottled at 40% in a matte black bottle.

    Elit sits at the top of the Stolichnaya family and is made at Latvijas Balzams in Riga, one of the oldest and largest spirits plants in the Baltics. The wheat is distilled three times into an alpha grade spirit, the purest classification available to work with, and then cut with artesian water drawn from roughly 200 metres below ground.

    The final step is the house signature. The spirit is chilled to minus 18 degrees and then drawn through ion charged filters so slowly that the process can run for hours. The cold holds the heavier compounds back, so they stay in the filter rather than in the glass. The vodka is then left to rest before bottling.

    Night Edition is the same liquid in different clothing. The bottle is a matte black version of the usual elit shape, and the engraved circles borrow from eclipses and other rare night sky events. This is a bottle designed for evening light rather than daylight.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Cool and reserved. The aroma is dry wheat with a touch of lemon peel and a breath of anise behind it.

    Palate

    Silky and almost free of burn. A discreet grain sweetness fills the middle before white pepper lays a thin stripe across the tongue.

    Finish

    Cool and clean. It fades quickly and leaves a sense of mineral and cold air behind.

  • WÓDKA Vodka bottle with retro label in red and white from Poland
    Item no.: 2224443333-4452

    Rye is the grain of Poland. It grows where wheat gives up, it bakes into bread that keeps for a week, and in distilled form it is the backbone of the country's vodka tradition. WÓDKA sticks to a single rye variety and lets it decide everything.

    Expert description

    WÓDKA Vodka is a Polish Vodka distilled solely from the Dankowskie Golden rye variety, five times column distilled and bottled at 40%.

    The rye comes from a single estate and is distilled just outside Kalisz in central Poland. Dankowskie is the variety Polish producers themselves point to when genuine rye vodka comes up, and it is grown for exactly this purpose. After five passes through the column, the spirit is filtered twice through charcoal burned from Polish birch.

    Five distillations sound like a road towards the neutral, but the aim here is different: to clean without removing. The rye character still stands clearly in the glass, and that is precisely what the judges rewarded when the vodka took Double Gold and was named Overall Best Vodka at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2017.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Vanilla and freshly baked rye bread, with a clear scatter of black pepper on top.

    Palate

    Full and broad. The rye carries all the way with a bready sweetness, while pepper cuts a dry line through the middle.

    Finish

    Long and fine. Almond and rye bread linger, and white pepper arrives on its own at the close.

  • København Klassisk Vodka bottle with pale label and city crest from Nordic Gin House
    Item no.: 22227865666-5552

    The name says Copenhagen. The contents are distilled in Sweden. That is not a mistake but a reminder that the Øresund strait is narrower than most labels let on, and that Nordic spirits rarely stay inside one border.

    Expert description

    København Klassisk Vodka is a Swedish Vodka from Nordic Gin House, made from winter-harvested barley and bottled at 40%.

    Nordic Gin House stand behind the whole København range, which holds gin in several styles, a single malt whisky and this vodka. The name is a greeting to the Danish capital, while the distilling happens at Bergslagens Destilleri in Sweden. The series built its reputation on the gin side, where the classic bottling in particular has taken prizes home.

    Barley is a less common choice for vodka than wheat or rye. The grain brings a rounder and slightly fuller character with clearer cereal sweetness, and the winter harvest reinforces it: the long growing season gathers more starch in the kernel. This is a vodka that is soft rather than sharp, which is why it holds up neat.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and mild. Dry grain and a touch of white bread, with a very faint citrus note behind.

    Palate

    Round and soft with a cereal sweetness filling the middle. The alcohol reads as warmth more than bite.

    Finish

    Short and dry. The sweetness falls away quickly and leaves a clean, lightly floury impression.

    Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0190

    Not many bands have ended up with their own spirits range. Rammstein have a whole series, and the vodka is the most sober of them: wheat, several distillations and a black bottle without a single apology on the label.

    Expert description

    Rammstein Export Edition Vodka is a German Vodka made from wheat, distilled several times in Germany and bottled at 40%.

    The series came out of a collaboration between the band and the Danish spirits house 1423 World Class Spirits, founded in 2008 and built around finding and releasing spirits from across the world. The band members took part in choosing what could carry the name, and beyond the vodka the range covers rum and whiskey among others.

    The wheat sets the direction you can taste. Wheat-based vodka usually carries a softer, faintly sweeter character than the rye-based bottles from Poland, and repeated distillation pulls it further towards clean. The result is a vodka built to be mixed, not to be studied for hours.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Neutral at first meeting. There is a faint sweet grain note and a touch of citrus, but the nose keeps a low profile.

    Palate

    Soft and smooth with a mild wheat sweetness. The alcohol reads as a clean, dry warmth without sharp edges.

    Finish

    Short and dry. The sweetness lets go quickly and only a light peppery impression stays behind.

    Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0114

    For 125 years freight wagons were repaired in the workshop halls beside the railway station in Nyborg. The tracks are still there. Inside the buildings there is copper now, and the smell has shifted from oil and iron to fermenting wheat malt.

    Expert description

    Fionia Vodka is an Organic Danish Vodka from Nyborg Destilleri on the island of Funen, triple distilled from organic wheat malt and bottled at 38%.

    Nicolai and Niels Rømer fitted the distillery into the old railway halls in 2017 and put a restaurant beside it. The house is today one of the largest producers of organic spirits in the country, and organic is not an option box here — it covers the whole range, from whisky through gin to rum.

    Fionia is built on malt rather than unmalted wheat, and it shows. Malting releases sugar and leaves a bready character that three distillations do not scrub away entirely. Bottling at 38% instead of the usual 40% does the rest: a little less alcoholic bite, a little more room for the grain.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Soft and pale. Fresh bread dough and a hint of lemon peel, with no sharp alcohol edge.

    Palate

    Light and gliding. Malt sweetness sits mid-tongue, followed by something herbal and a slender peppery warmth.

    Finish

    Clean and brief. A dry malt trace lingers while everything else lets go quickly.

    Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-136

    Ballard was a fishing harbour long before it turned into a district of coffee bars and design studios. The rain still falls at the same grey pace, and the wheat still comes from the hills east of the city. That is what ends up in the bottle.

    Expert description

    Our Vodka By Seattle is an American Vodka from Our/Seattle in Ballard, bottled at 40%.

    Seattle was the third in the family. The distillery opened in April 2015 on Market Street in the middle of Ballard, after Berlin and Detroit had shown that a distillery can sit in a shopfront and still make serious spirits. Behind the site stand Nin Truong, Christa Thomas and Stephen Pleadwell — the first two are designers and run the studio WKND in the city.

    The raw material is winter wheat from the Palouse, the rolling farming region in eastern Washington where the fields run like dunes and have been worked for over a century. The wheat gives a soft spirit, which the team blends and hand bottles in Ballard following the same recipe every Our/Vodka city shares.

    Bottling at 40 percent makes it a little firmer than the European releases. That suits the local drinking culture, where vodka ends up in a brunch time Bloody Mary as readily as in an evening shot glass.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean wheat with a coolly sweet note reminiscent of fresh cut straw. A small breath of vanilla sits behind it.

    Palate

    Soft on entry and quickly dry. The grain fills the middle without turning sweet, and a fine mineral stripe runs through.

    Finish

    Clean and medium. It closes dry with a trace of white pepper.

    The Palouse, where the wheat comes from, is one of the most productive grain regions in the United States. Its hills were formed by wind blown dust over thousands of years, and the soil runs so deep that the fields can be farmed without irrigation — unusual in an area with so little rainfall.

  • Our Vodka By Detroit bottle in milk bottle shape with printed city name
    Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-135

    Bagley Street sits in the part of Detroit where the brick facades carry murals and half the shopfronts have stood empty for years. Number 2545 became a distillery. Not as an investment, but as an argument that the neighbourhood was worth staying in.

    Expert description

    Our Vodka By Detroit is an American Vodka from Our/Detroit on Bagley Street, bottled at 40%.

    Detroit came second in the line. After Berlin had shown that a micro distillery could work in the middle of a large city, Our/Detroit opened in August 2014 as the first outside Europe. The model came with it: the same recipe as the rest of the family, ingredients sourced as close by as possible, and a team of local partners with a free hand to run the brand the way they felt the city deserved.

    The team behind it was local and women led, with Kate Bordine among the partners, and they chose to use the distillery as more than a production site. Mural competitions and neighbourhood events were held there, and sales were tied to the work of bringing life back to the surrounding streets.

    The vodka itself is slightly stronger than its sister bottles from London and Berlin. The 40 percent gives more body and a clearer warmth, which makes it sturdier in a drink and more direct when it is served ice cold.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Neutral with a pale grain character and a hint of green peel. The alcohol reads as a cool breath rather than a sting.

    Palate

    Firm and clean with moderate sweetness. The middle is dry, and a peppered warmth settles across the tongue.

    Finish

    Medium and dry. The warmth holds for a moment before everything withdraws.

  • Baller Vodka bottle with double-sided street art label from London
    Item no.: 222278654231503445-

    In an industrial estate in Battersea sits a distillery that has turned the usual idea of vodka upside down. It does not buy spirit in and dilute it. It buys wheat, ferments it on site and then refuses to filter what comes out.

    Expert description

    Baller Vodka is an English Vodka from Doghouse Distillery in Battersea, London, distilled from scratch from English wheat, unfiltered and bottled at 40%.

    Doghouse opened in Battersea in 2016 and calls itself the only distillery in London making its own base spirit from grain to bottle across several categories. That is rarer than you might think. Most gin producers worldwide, and a fair share of vodka producers, buy neutral spirit in and work on from there.

    The wheat is English, and the house controls the whole road from wash to bottling. The decisive choice arrives at the end: Baller is not filtered. Filtration would pull the grain character out, and instead the wheat is allowed to stay in the glass as a soft biscuit sweetness with a spiced glint.

    The names and labels belong to the same story. The house range is built around music genres, and the labels are drawn by artists rather than design agencies. Baller carries a double-sided label by a street artist, so the bottle works whichever way round it stands on the back bar.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Mild and cereal-led. Fresh wheat bread and a touch of dried coconut, with no sharp alcohol edge.

    Palate

    Soft and full. Vanilla biscuit fills the middle, with a suggestion of clove and white pepper behind it.

    Finish

    Medium and smooth. The grain sweetness drops away calmly and leaves a round mouthfeel behind.

  • Tom of Finland vodka bottle with drawn male figure on the label
    Item no.: 505956-498796-466-5

    Touko Laaksonen drew under the name Tom of Finland for decades in which his subject matter was illegal across most of Europe. Today his work hangs in museums, and it stands on a vodka bottle from his home country.

    Expert description

    Tom of Finland Vodka is a Finnish Vodka from Lignell & Piispanen in Kuopio, distilled five times from organic wheat and rye and bottled at 40%.

    The grain is organic wheat and rye, a combination less common than it sounds. Wheat brings softness, rye brings spice, and together they land somewhere between the Polish rye style and the milder Scandinavian one. The water is arctic, and nothing at all is added, neither colour nor sugar.

    Five distillations and a subsequent sheet filtration are what make it smooth enough that there is practically no burn. That is a technical point with a practical consequence: it can be drunk neat at room temperature without needing to hide behind cold.

    The label is not decoration. Laaksonen drew his figures from the 1940s onwards, and they became iconic at a time when homosexuality was criminalised in Finland. A share of the profit from every bottle goes to the Tom of Finland Foundation, which works to preserve erotic art.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Completely clean. A fine trace of rye bread crust and a hint of aniseed, with no sharp alcohol on the nose.

    Palate

    Silky with no burn. Vanilla and cream soda first, then a spiced rise with cracked black pepper and a touch of star anise.

    Finish

    Medium and mild. The spice fades slowly and leaves a soft, clean impression behind.

  • Chilgrove Vodka bottle with pale label and English landscape motif
    Item no.: 505956-498796-454-1

    Chilgrove is a sleepy hamlet in West Sussex at the foot of the South Downs, woodland all around and chalk beneath the ground. Nobody ends up there by accident. But the name sits on a bottle that did something no other English vodka had done before it.

    Expert description

    Chilgrove Vodka is an English Vodka from Chilgrove Spirits in West Sussex, distilled from grapes and bottled at 40%.

    Grapes instead of grain is the whole explanation for why it tastes different. Neutral spirit made from grapes carries a fresh, lightly sweet fruit character, where wheat gives biscuit and rye gives pepper. When the bottle arrived in 2015 it was the first neutral vodka in Britain distilled using grape alcohol.

    The water is chosen just as deliberately. It is natural mineral water filtered through the chalk the whole area rests on, and that chalk gives a dry, mineral undercurrent pulling against the sweetness of the grape. That tension is what the bottle lives on.

    The house is small and production runs in small batches. Behind it stand Christopher and Celia Beaumont-Hutchings, who first made Chilgrove Dry Gin on the same grape base and then carried that base over into a vodka. It is one idea in two bottles.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and lightly fruity. Grapes and a touch of fennel, with a dry chalky tone behind.

    Palate

    Crisp and smooth. Fruit sweetness comes first, then dark cherry and a suggestion of cocoa, and finally white pepper.

    Finish

    Medium and mineral. The fruit withdraws and the chalk hangs on as a dry sensation.

  • The Lakes Vodka bottle in red gift box with silver detailing
    Item no.: 505956-498796-453-9

    Beside Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria sits a distillery in a converted 1850s farmstead, with the River Derwent just outside and the fells behind. The Lake District is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and that is the landscape which ends up in the bottle.

    Expert description

    The Lakes Vodka is an English Vodka from The Lakes Distillery in Cumbria, distilled once from British wheat in a copper pot still and bottled at 40%.

    Please note: the bottle is delivered in the house red gift box, made to a solid standard and ready to be handed on as it is.

    A single distillation is an unusual choice for a vodka. Most producers run the distillate through a column again and again to end up as neutral as possible, but here it stays with that one pass through a handmade copper pot still. In exchange, time is taken over it, and the wheat is allowed to remain in the distillate.

    It is therefore not an empty vodka. There is a clear, soft sweetness from the grain and a mouthfeel fuller than the strength suggests. The water comes from the distillery's own home inside the Lake District National Park, and the colour is natural.

    The bottle follows the house design, the same one you know from its gin and whisky: a plain cut, heavy shoulders, no unnecessary decoration. The gift box is red and well made, and it is the reason this particular version is easy to pass on without further wrapping.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and almost neutral. A pale grain note with a hint of freshly baked bread.

    Palate

    Soft and lightly sweet. The wheat fills the middle, and a kick of white pepper appears at the side of the tongue.

    Finish

    Short and clear. The sweetness disappears quickly and leaves a dry, clean impression behind.

  • Adnams East Coast vodka bottle with pale label and wave motif
    Item no.: 505956-498796-453-7

    Beer has been brewed in Southwold on the English east coast since 1872. When the distillery arrived in 2010, nobody had to go looking for a wash to distil. It was already fermenting in the brewery next door.

    Expert description

    Adnams East Coast Vodka is an English Single Malt Vodka from Adnams Copper House Distillery in Southwold, distilled from 100% East Anglian malted barley and bottled at 40%.

    Adnams is a brewery first and a distillery second, and that explains most of what this vodka is. The house makes its own wash from East Anglian malted barley, the same grain that goes into the beers, and distils it on in the Copper House Distillery. The grain is followed from local fields to the bottle, and that thinking runs through the whole spirits range.

    Using malted barley rather than wheat or neutral molasses is a choice with consequences. Barley delivers an obvious malt sweetness that an ordinary vodka would have filtered away, which is why Adnams calls it a Single Malt Vodka. The character sits closer to a young malt spirit than to a Polish rye vodka.

    In the glass that means body. The texture is soft and close to velvety, and there is a clear trace of caramel and toffee that is added nowhere but comes from the grain itself. It stands up to being drunk neat, and in a drink you can tell there is something behind the alcohol.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Softly malty with the smell of freshly baked bread. A hint of caramel and cooked apple sits behind it.

    Palate

    Full and lightly sweet. The malt stands out clearly with caramel and toffee, and the texture is soft without turning fat.

    Finish

    Medium and warm. The malt sweetness hangs on, and a small dry grain note appears at the end.

    Item no.: 505956-498796-453-5

    No other spirits bottle has been poured this many times. The red label stands behind a bar in Tokyo, in a kitchen cupboard in Jutland and on a shelf in a ferry kiosk somewhere in the Baltic. Seventy centilitres of something made as neutral as it can possibly be, which is exactly why it fits in everywhere.

    Expert description

    Smirnoff Red Triple Distilled Premium Vodka 70 cl is a British Vodka made from grain, triple distilled and bottled at 37.5%.

    This is the best-selling vodka in the world and the largest premium spirits brand on the planet. The recipe carries the number 21, and the distillate is filtered ten times through charcoal before it reaches the bottle. All of that work is about removal: fusel oils, heavier alcohols and any other residue that might hand the contents a personality.

    Neutrality is rarely something you praise a spirit for, but here it is the design. The 70 cl bottle is the one the rest of the vodka shelf gets measured against, and it is also the one a large share of the classic vodka drinks were originally built around. It pushes back at neither tomato juice, coffee liqueur nor tonic.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Very reserved. A cool chalk impression and a suggestion of charcoal if you give it time in the glass.

    Palate

    Mineral and light. Cracked black pepper through the middle and a flick of peppermint freshness that leaves as fast as it arrived.

    Finish

    Dry and peppery with a trace of chargrilled pepper. Short, but broader than you would expect.

  • Absolut Passionfruit bottle in clear glass with yellow and orange lettering
    Item no.: 505956-498796-453-2

    Passion fruit tastes of two things at once: enough acidity to wake the mouth up, and a sweetness that lands afterwards. It is a fruit that can carry a whole drink on its own — and here it sits on top of a vodka from the grain fields of Skåne.

    Expert description

    Absolut Passionfruit is a Swedish Vodka carrying natural passion fruit flavour, bottled at 38%.

    The base is the same as everywhere else in the house: winter wheat from the land around Åhus and water from a deep well in the same place. The flavour comes from natural aromas, and no sugar is added. That detail matters, because sugar is what makes the fruit in many flavoured vodkas turn flat and syrupy after the first mouthful.

    Alongside the passion fruit sits a stroke of orange blossom. That floral note is why the bottle lifts a tonic rather than merely colouring it, and it gives you something to build on in drinks with ginger or lime. All of it bottled at 38%, the strength Absolut uses across its flavoured range.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clear passion fruit with acidity at the edge, and behind it a floral note leaning towards orange blossom.

    Palate

    Fresh, juicy fruit fills the mouth. The sweetness is held back and the acidity keeps everything upright.

    Finish

    Lightly sweet and fruity, but short. It leaves cleanly without depositing anything sticky.

    Some bottles are built for the other side of the bar. Merchant's Choice was put together for bartenders who need an English vodka that does its job and otherwise keeps out of the way of everything else in the shaker.

    Expert description

    Merchant's Choice Classic Vodka is an English Vodka distilled from British grain and bottled at 40%.

    The brand comes from Symposium, an independent British spirits merchant that assembled a range of craft spirits with bar use in mind. Alongside the vodka there is a London Dry Gin in the same range, and the two are meant to stand side by side behind a bar rather than on a collector's shelf.

    The vodka itself is distilled from grain in Great Britain and aims at a clean, crisp mouthfeel. There is neither botanical nor added flavouring in it; the whole ambition is that it should carry a cocktail without drawing attention to itself.

    It is not empty for all that. A clear citrus note sits at the front, and beneath it a soft vanilla that means it can also be drunk neat if it is cold enough. Pepper arrives only right at the very end and reads more as a sensation than an actual flavour.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and clean with obvious citrus peel. A hint of vanilla sits underneath it.

    Palate

    Crisp and smooth with sharp citrus notes up front. The vanilla comes in halfway and rounds the edges off.

    Item no.: 505956-498796-451-2

    A griffin sits in the coat of arms of Riga, half lion and half eagle, and it has followed the brand onto the label. Behind it stands a distillery that has worked in the city since 1900 and still runs its vodka through both charcoal and silver before it reaches the bottle.

    Expert description

    Riga Black Vodka is a Latvian Vodka from Latvijas Balzams in Riga, distilled from wheat and rye and bottled at 40%.

    Latvijas Balzams dates back to 1900 and today belongs to Amber Beverage Group. The house is best known for Riga Black Balsam, but the vodka is made at the same address, and the two products share both a name and the griffin on the label.

    The spirit comes from selected wheat and rye, run up to five times through copper stills. Artesian spring water is then added, meaning water from a sealed aquifer that pushes itself up under its own pressure. The filtration is the pride of the house: seven stages, with both activated black charcoal and silver ions in play.

    The rye is the reason it does not simply turn soft. The wheat lays down a round, creamy texture while the rye sends spice into the finish. Aniseed and pepper hold on after the sweetness lets go, and that combination is what makes the bottle useful for more than disappearing into juice.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and cool with a light dark rye bread note. A trace of aniseed sits in the background.

    Palate

    Creamy and soft on the attack, after which the rye spice takes over. Aniseed, white pepper and a dry grain note share the middle between them.

    Finish

    Medium and spiced. The pepper hangs on and delivers a warmth more obvious than on most pure wheat vodkas.

    Item no.: 505956-498796-450-6

    On the seventeenth of May Norwegians decorate with birch, and through winter they burn birch logs. The tree is woven so deeply into the country that distilling it starts to look like the obvious move. Oslo Håndverksdestilleri does exactly that, by letting the leaves ride along in the copper still.

    Expert description

    Norwegian Wood Birch Vodka is a Norwegian Vodka from Oslo Håndverksdestilleri, distilled from potatoes with birch leaves, meadowsweet and elderflower, bottled at 41%.

    The distillery was founded in Oslo in 2015 and makes gin, aquavit and bitters alongside the vodka. The house position is that spirits need not be as neutral as possible, and that is the whole explanation for this bottle. The brief for the recipe was that it should be good enough to drink neat, have character enough to give a Martini personality, and still be mild enough to be called a vodka.

    The base is potato, which supplies the creamy texture. During the final distillation three plants join the copper still. Birch leaves lend fresh herbal character, meadowsweet contributes softness and sweet tones and is called the vanilla of the Nordics for good reason, and elderflower lays the bright top notes over the top.

    Meadowsweet does more than sweeten. The plant also brings a light bitterness, and that is what keeps the sweetness in check so the vodka never tips over into liqueur. The balance between the three plants is why it works in a small glass and a tall one alike.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Light and floral. Fresh herbs report first, then elderflower and a trace of pear.

    Palate

    Creamy and round with obvious plant character. The birch gives something green, and the meadowsweet lays honey and almond underneath it.

    Finish

    Long and sweetish with a clear thread of vanilla and a light bitterness right at the end.

  • Eiko Vodka bottle with Japanese samurai artwork on the label
    Item no.: 505956-498796-450-2

    Hokkaido sits at the northern end of Japan, where snow stays on the ground for months and winter runs long enough that you start thinking in terms of purity and cold all by yourself. Eiko is distilled up there, and the name means glory.

    Expert description

    Eiko Vodka is a Japanese Vodka from Hokkaido, triple distilled and filtered four times, bottled at 40%.

    Japanese vodka is still a small category next to whisky and shochu, but the craft is the same one Japanese distilleries have built their reputation on: many stages, tight control and a willingness to spend longer than strictly necessary. Eiko goes through distillation three times and then through the filters four times, one stage more than most vodkas receive.

    Combining several distillations with an extra filtration removes the heavier compounds from both ends of the process. What remains is a vodka that barely bites. In return you have to go looking for the aroma: it is delicate and closes up if the bottle comes straight out of the freezer.

    It has also collected silverware at the major competitions, among them a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2019 and a category win at the World Vodka Awards in 2018. A reminder that Japan makes more than whisky.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Delicate and lightly sweet with a trace of lemon peel. No alcohol prickle, but not much to grab hold of either if it is served too cold.

    Palate

    Soft and smooth with a clear liquorice note that slides into mild sweetness. Pepper arrives right at the end and stays very discreet.

    Finish

    Short and clean with a light peppery cross. The sweetness drops away quickly and leaves the mouth dry.

    Eiko means glory or honour in Japanese, and the packaging takes the name literally by putting a samurai on the bottle. It is not decoration but a direct translation of the word into a picture.

  • Nemiroff Original vodka bottle in litre format with black label
    Item no.: 22227865423150348-

    Nemyriv is a small town in Podillia, surrounded by some of the most fertile wheat fields in Europe. Spirit has been distilled here since 1872, and the town has lent its name to a vodka that now stands on shelves in more than 80 countries.

    Expert description

    Nemiroff Original is a Ukrainian Vodka from Nemiroff in Nemyriv, distilled from wheat, flavoured with caraway and honey and bottled at 40%.

    Production began in 1872, when the largest distillery in the district opened in Nemyriv, and the house has stayed in the same town ever since. The water comes from artesian wells beneath the distillery and the wheat is grown in the surrounding countryside. Nemiroff is today the largest vodka exporter in Ukraine.

    Original is the house black label, launched in 1999. Unlike the plain bottlings in the range it is not entirely neutral: a very small amount of caraway and honey is added, sitting as a tone rather than as a flavour. You have to know it is there to put words to it, but it is there.

    After distillation the vodka passes nine stages of filtration before bottling. That is what gives the round, almost softly polished character which lets the litre bottle sit on a dinner table without anybody asking for ice. It works with food and in drinks alike.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and mild. A pale grain note with a fine touch of honey and a hint of caraway behind it.

    Palate

    Soft and round. The wheat gives a muted sweetness, while the caraway lays a warm, almost bread-like spice through the middle.

    Finish

    Short and clean. The spice hangs on for a moment and leaves a dry, faintly honeyed impression behind.

    Original is also called Nemiroff Black after the colour of its label, and that name is still used in many markets. The town of Nemyriv sits in Podillia, one of the classic wheat districts of Europe, which is why the house chose wheat over potatoes in the first place.

  • Griffin Vault vodka bottle with red griffin coat of arms
    Item no.: 22227865423150347-

    A griffin is assembled from the two animals the medieval world feared most: the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. It was placed on coats of arms and above vaults to guard whatever lay behind. Hence the name on this bottle.

    Expert description

    Griffin Vault Vodka is an English Vodka from Red Griffin, filtered through English oak charcoal and bottled at 40.6%.

    The filtration is what the bottle rests on. Activated charcoal is used in vodka production everywhere, but the type of wood matters to the result, and here English oak has been used. Oak charcoal is denser and harder than birch, for example, and it polishes the distillate more thoroughly.

    The result is a very clean vodka with a distinctly soft mouthfeel, where the edges are gone without anything having been added. The 40.6% sits a shade above the norm, and those extra tenths register as a little more body when it is drunk neat.

    The style is the classic neutral one: no botanicals, no sweetening, no fruit aroma. That makes it a working bottle behind the bar, where the other ingredients need room and where you do not want the vodka setting the agenda.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and discreet. A lightly honeyed grain note with a suggestion of dried lemon peel.

    Palate

    Soft and rounded. The sweetness sits in the middle, and an earthy touch of cassia and white pepper comes through towards the end.

    Finish

    Short and tidy. The warmth lifts quickly and leaves a dry, almost chalky trace behind.

    Did you know?

    The word vault in the name means both an arched ceiling and a strongroom, and both senses suit the griffin. Medieval imagery used the creature as a guardian of treasure and tombs, precisely because it combined the strongest of all land animals with the sharpest of all birds.

  • Arbikie Haar Wheat Vodka bottle in clear glass with muted blue-grey label
    Item no.: 227865444111266-98

    On some mornings you cannot see the North Sea from Arbikie, even though it sits right there. The cold coastal fog the Scots call haar rolls in across Lunan Bay and settles around the distillery like a sheet. This bottle is named after that fog.

    Expert description

    Arbikie Haar Wheat Vodka is a Scottish Vodka distilled from Zulu wheat grown on the Arbikie Distillery fields and bottled at 43%.

    The wheat variety is called Zulu and grows in the fields known as Black Laws, a short walk from the distillery. That both the variety and the field can be named says something about the way the place works: the raw material is followed all the way through rather than bought in as finished neutral spirit.

    Wheat gives a softer and sweeter distillate than barley, and Arbikie has chosen not to strip that character out. Vanilla and caramel sit in the glass as a result. Those are notes usually associated with cask maturation, but here they come from the grain and the distillation alone.

    The distillery suggests it in an Espresso Martini, or with cloudy apple juice, soda and a squeeze of lime. Both play on the caramel sweetness sitting at the bottom of the bottle.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Apple and caramel, clear and inviting. Behind them sit a thread of baked wheat and a faint floral note.

    Palate

    Creamy and round with vanilla up front. Caramel follows, and a light spice arrives last to keep the sweetness in check.

    Finish

    Medium and soft. Vanilla and caramel fade out while the spice stays behind.

  • Arbikie Chilli Vodka bottle with pale brown spirit and plain estate label
    Item no.: 22227865466332-889

    In a field above Lunan Bay, chilli plants grow between the potato rows. They are picked, smoked and left to steep in vodka. Arbikie Chilli Vodka is the loudest bottle on the estate, and there is very little like it in Scotland.

    Expert description

    Arbikie Chilli Vodka is a Scottish Vodka from Arbikie Distillery, built on the house potato vodka and steeped with home-grown chipotle chillies, bottled at 43%.

    Chipotle is smoke-dried jalapeño, and it is the smoke rather than the burn that carries this bottle. Arbikie grows the chillies on the farm in Angus and drops them in whole. No extracts, no colourings, no concentrates, which is why the liquid sits pale brown instead of clear.

    The base is the same potato spirit the distillery began with. Potato distillate has a weight and a creaminess that grain does not deliver in the same way, and that texture is exactly why the chilli never turns sharp or dusty. The heat settles on top of the softness rather than cutting through it.

    Flavoured vodka carries a mixed reputation, and syrup and flavouring compounds are usually to blame. Neither appears here. The chilli steeps until it has given up both smoke and heat, and the bottling strength of 43% gives the spice room to spread.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Smoke first, like a bonfire on its way out. Behind it sits dried chilli, a touch of sweetness and something earthy close to baked potato skin.

    Palate

    Creamy and full at the start, almost soft. Then the chilli arrives: a deep, smoked warmth that builds rather than strikes. Clearly present without ever punishing.

    Finish

    Long and warm. The smoke hangs on longest while the spice slides slowly down the throat.

    Chipotle is not a chilli variety but a condition. It is a jalapeño left to ripen until it turns red and then dried over smoke, and that is precisely the treatment these chillies get before they meet the vodka.

  • Koskenkorva Organic vodka bottle in clear glass with pale green label
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972804301

    Koskenkorva is not something a marketing agency invented. It is the name of a village in flat, windswept Ostrobothnia, where the barley fields run right up to the distillery gate and the grain often travels less than twenty kilometres to reach its final destination.

    Expert description

    Koskenkorva Organic is an Organic Finnish Vodka distilled from barley grown on the distillery's own and neighbouring fields, bottled at 37.5%.

    The Koskenkorva distillery has been running since 1953 and is today one of the largest grain processing plants in the Nordics. The barley arrives as whole grain, is cooked, fermented and sent through a tall column, where the distillate passes more than 250 distillation stages on the way up. That kind of plant produces a very clean, nearly characterless spirit, and everything after that depends on what you do with it.

    Here it is diluted with Finnish spring water and left alone. The organic barley is grown without artificial fertiliser or pesticides, and because it is not hidden behind added flavourings you can actually taste it: a dry, grainy tone under the clean surface. At 37.5% the mouthfeel is a shade lighter than a 40% vodka, which makes it easy to mix with.

    Finns treat Koskenkorva as an everyday spirit in the best sense of the phrase. It is as common in the kitchen as behind the bar, and it gets drunk ice cold from small glasses at summer cabins right through July. The brand belongs to Anora, which also runs the bioenergy plant sitting next door to the distillery.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dry and cool with a clear grain character. No sweetness, no perfume, just clean barley and a hint of wet flour.

    Palate

    Light and mild rather than forceful. The barley shows up as a coarse, almost bready tone halfway through, and the alcohol stays in the background.

    Finish

    Short to medium and thoroughly dry. A small rasp of grain husk hangs on, and then it is gone.

    Did you know?

    The barley husks from production are not thrown away. They are burned in the distillery's own bioenergy plant and cover a large share of its heating needs, while starch and protein from the grain go on to food products and animal feed. Very little of a barley kernel goes unused at Koskenkorva.

  • Vodka Bornholm Rosé Edition champagne bottle with ruby red liquid and wooden cap
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280274

    Ruby red vodka sounds like a colouring agent at work. Here the colour arrived the long way round: from a Danish rosé wine blended in after distillation. The bottle is the same champagne bottle as always. The contents are somewhere else entirely.

    Expert description

    Vodka Bornholm Rosé Edition is a Danish Vodka from Bornholm Spirits, blended with Danish rosé wine and bottled at 37.5%.

    The wine is Barfod Cabernet Cantor 2021, and it accounts for both the colour and a large part of the aroma. Cherry, strawberry and raspberry sit up front, and beneath the fruit come black pepper and thyme. Those are notes you rarely meet in a vodka.

    The base is the crystal clear Vodka Bornholm, which has rested with Bornholm granite and is therefore easy to handle. At 37.5% it sits below a standard vodka, and that pulls the bottle towards something you sip rather than knock back.

    It is made in small batches only and released as a limited edition. Served properly cold with tonic or sparkling water, it is built for light evenings rather than for the freezer.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Cherry and strawberry with raspberry behind them. A dry thread of thyme keeps the sweetness in place.

    Palate

    Soft and light. The red fruit fills the middle, then a twist of black pepper arrives and gives it an edge.

    Finish

    Medium. The fruit withdraws slowly while the pepper and a herbal streak stay behind.
