Review: Absolut Cherrykran Vodka
Absolut Cherrykran vodka was introduced May 2012. It is one of twenty flavored vodkas Absolut creates in Ahus Sweden for the US market. Cherrykran is made with Swedish winter wheat and pure deep well water. A continuous distillation process is used before all natural sun-ripe cherries, fresh white cranberry and sweet plum flavor is added. White cranberries are the same berry as the red cranberry, they are just picked a few weeks early. They are less tart and have not turned red yet. No sugar or preservatives are added before bottling at 80 proof.
The aroma is cherry and plum with a hint of cranberry and vodka. The initial sweet cherry taste is joined by plum before peaking with cranberry and fading with a medium mouth warmining and a dry slightly peppery vodka flavored finish. Flavorful enough to drink on the rocks but if 80 proof is a little strong, try an Absolut Cherrykran Cooler.
