The most famous export from Finland is a marriage of purest Spirit and glacial water.

The Rajamäki bottling plant that makes Finlandia Vodka were founded by Dr. Wilhelm Justin in 1888. He chose the location because of a natural spring fed from melting glaciers nearby. Finland had its own Prohibition movement, but the distillery kept operating to supply antiseptic alcohols and fuels. When Prohibition ended the facilities were bought, sold, traded, and such. In 2000, the Brown-Forman company started acquiring ownership. Four years later they owned the whole thing.

Finlandia Vodka is made from local six-row barley. The mash is fermented and then distilled in a set of seven custom column stills at the Koskenkorva Distillery — each one is 82-feet tall (25 meters). There are more than two hundred steps in the distillation process to remove any trace of impurity. And so the Spirit emerges very pure at 96.5% ABV. The Spirit is transported to the Rajamäki plant when the spring water bubbles up and is used to cut the Vodka to proof. Quality and purity are a big part of their ethos. At one time Finlandia had an advertising campaign who’s central message was, "There are Vodkas for orange juice lovers and tomato juice lovers. Now a Vodka for Vodka lovers."

Appearance / Color
Clear

Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is crisp and clean with a trace of pepper-cream.

Flavor / Taste / Palate
The palate opens with soft, slightly-oily mouth-feel and a flavor profile of soft spices and melting snow (really).

Finish
Taken neat, the finish quickly melts away in a warming slurry.

About the Flavor Spiral
What does Finlandia Vodka taste like?

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Finlandia Vodka and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.

We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

It looks like potato chips and flavored Vodka are two things where the producers unleash their imagination. Bubble gum, fresh cut grass, pumpkin pie, marshmallow, and coconut water hardly begin to describe the many flavors of Vodka.
Vodka can be made anywhere in the world and pretty much of any ingredient that contains starch.

For a potato-based Vodka, 12kg (26.5lbs) potatoes are needed to produce a single bottle.
Unlike its boozy brethren Bourbon and Scotch, Vodka can be made anywhere in the world. But it’s Eastern Europe that gets the credit for its birth. Just don’t ask Russia and Poland to get to the bottom of it—both argue that they masterminded the Spirit first.
The average life of a $50 bill in circulation is 55 months before it is replaced due to wear.
Seems that Vodka is a lightweight—quite literally. This clear Spirit actually weighs less than water. One liter of water weighs 1,000 grams, while the same amount of Vodka only clocks in at 953 grams.
You won't impress the bartender by ordering Vodka-soda, but it's a good choice if you want to avoid unecessary sugar intake and make sure you stay hydrated when consuming alcohol.
