Vodka has a deep and vibrant history. Vodka recognition spans across cultures, city lines, and generation gaps. In the past few years we have seen an abundance of flavoured vodkas, from glazed donughts to Smoked Salmon. This category is increasing and has become a billion dollar segment of the world vodka market. Many of these flavoured vodkas are gimmicky and are meant to capitalize on a trend. A few months ago I wrote a blog titled ‘Unusual Vodka Flavours’. Here are a few more “out of the ordinary” products.
Black Cow – Pure Milk Vodka
Black Cow is the world’s first pure milk vodka made entirely from the milk of grass grazed cows and nothing else. Visit blackcow.co.uk
Skorppio Vodka
Skorppio is a British premium vodka, five-times distilled and is enriched with a real scorpion, and produced 100% from single grain ( wheat). These days worms are for whimps. Visit skorppio-vodka.com
Three Olives Froot Loop Flavoured Vodka
The Loopy vodka is a medley of tropical fruit and imported British vodka. A few years ago, they introduced the Bubble Gum flavoured vodka. I guess, liquid breakfast takes on a new meaning. Visit threeolives.com
Naga Chili Vodka – 1000,000 Scovilles
This vodka is made from Naga Jolokia, the worlds hottest chillies. The Scoville scale is what determines the spiciness of a pepper. For reference a Jalepeño starts at 3,500 Scovilles. This vodka is so fiery that it comes with a health warning on the back label. The retailer recommends that the vodka should not be drunk as a shot. The vodka is sold on line, and if you like it hot visit masterofmalt.
Indio Wasabi Flavoured Vodka
Indio Wasabi vodka is an American product. It brings a new flavour to this category of vodkas. Add a kick to your to your next vodka cocktail. Visit indiospirits
The flavoured vodka trend will continue for 2013. No doubt that in a few months I will be posting part 3.
Cheers!
