Cariel Vanilla Vodka
Cariel Vanilla Vodka is the careful marriage of premium Swedish triple-distilled wheat vodka and natural vanilla flavouring from the orchids found in Kerala in south-western India and the more floral, even fruitier vanilla found in Madagascar. Delicious for cocktails or simply served over ice with cola or ginger ale.
Koskenkorva Sauna Barrel Aged Vodka
Koskenkorva Sauna Barrel Aged Vodka is presented as a warm, subtly smoky twist on classic Finnish vodka, inspired by the atmosphere of a traditional Finnish sauna. Instead of relying on heavy flavours, it uses gentle barrel ageing to introduce soft wood notes while keeping the clean, smooth character that Koskenkorva is known for. The palate opens with mellow vanilla and light oak, followed by a touch of smoke that feels more like warm sauna air than peat or char. Underneath, the vodka remains soft and grain‑forward, giving it a rounded, almost creamy mouthfeel. The finish is smooth, lightly woody and quietly warming, with a subtle hint of toasted grain. Koskenkorva Sauna Barrel stands out for its understated complexity and Nordic personality. It works well neat, chilled, or in simple cocktails where its gentle wood and smoke notes can shine without overpowering the drink.
