Review: Koskenkorva Vodka
Koskenkorva Vodka is made from Saana and Elmeri, custom barley varieties. These are the northernmost barleys in the world. The barley is all grown within a 120 mile radius of the distillery. A continuous distillation process provides the equivalent of 250 distillations. Pure spring water filtered through the ridges of Salpausselka is blended to reduce to 80 proof. The vodka is so pure it does not require a separate carbon filtration. The Koskenkorva distillery has produced this vodka since 1953 in Koskenkorva Finland, a town with a population of 2100. Each year this town produces the equivalent of 90,476 kilos of barley per villager. Read more
