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.

Did you know?
The bottles are filled by hand in small batches in Berlin. That is also the city where the band came together, so the label points back to the place the whole story started.
