Koskenkorva | Local Spirit From Koskenkorva, Finland | TasteAtlas

Koskenkorva

Koskenkorva is a clear Finnish spirit that is distilled from a combination of locally grown barley and unfiltered spring water. Often dubbed as vodka, the drink is produced with continuous distillation, which involves highly developed producing techniques that utilize 100% of the grain—none of it goes to waste.


The original version of this high-quality spirit is smooth, pure, neutral, and bright. Apart from its basic version, it also comes in several specialty varieties, including aged and flavored spirits. The drink is produced in Koskenkorva village, and the company which produces it operates in an entirely sustainable manner that focuses on the circular economy.


Koskenkorva can be enjoyed straight, preferably as an aperitif, but it also makes a great cocktail ingredient. In Finland, it is labeled as Koskenkorva Viina, and it is bottled at 38% ABV.
