Vodka Tasting Kit

CAD $60.00

This vodka tasting kit has been organized with a curated selection of vodkas that appear in the different vodka flavour camps. Grouping the vodkas like this helps you to identify the major types of vodka you prefer, which helps you to zero in on new vodkas to try that belong to similar cohorts.  If you are looking for the best vodka tasting experience or wondering how to gift a vodka tasting kit, look no further!

Vodka is a spirit containing ethyl alcohol distilled from potatoes, grain, or other agricultural raw ingredients or combinations thereof. In Canada, vodka may only be produced from grain or potatoes and must use charcoal treatment. 

Each vodka is unique, however at the same time you can cluster them into groups with similar interests and characters called flavour camps. The six core vodka flavour camps are: Clean, Fruity/Fresh, Sweet, Bready/Grainy, Creamy/Buttery, and Rich. Additional flavours and aromas present with these core flavour camps are: Crisp, Citric, Floral, Silky, Herbal And Medicinal. 

The highlights of our vodka tasting experience  include:

  • A curated tour of the best tasting vodkas we love from around the world. 
  • A vodka tasting booklet guide for your experience including an overview of each vodka, how to taste, and tasting notes. 
  • Self guided experience using included booklet, or optional live expert led private vodka tasting event  available both in-person and virtually (Contact Us For Live Tasting Event Quote)

GREEN & BLACK’s Organic Dark Chocolate For Vodka Sampler Gift Set

Dark chocolate and vodka make a great match. The warming, complex nature of most vodka complements the luxurious, creamy texture of good chocolate. 

The underlying sweetness and alcohol bite to vodka is offset extremely well by the more bitter and lingering flavor of dark chocolate.

Our organic Dark 70% chocolate from GREEN & BLACK’s is made from fine Trinitario cacao beans, providing complex fruit notes and intense bittersweet chocolate aromas.

GREEN & BLACK’S is a chocolate brand founded on sustainable and ethical cocoa sourcing principles.

A great addition to a vodka birthday gift for those looking to buy vodka samples online.

How To Enjoy

While you still have the flavours in your mouth after a sip of vodka, take a piece of chocolate and let it slowly melt and add to the flavour. Then take another sip of vodka and round it off.

Torres Selecta Black Truffle Potato Chips

Truffles are a bold flavour, and a little goes a long way. The taste of black truffles is a mixture of chocolaty, nutty and earthy. Vodka pairs well with potato chips and the flavours of black truffle, so we have a fantastic snack that combines both!

Be captivated by the intense woodsy aroma with flavors of garlic, wild mushroom and earthy hazelnut undertones that convert this snack into a real treat for the senses.

Ingredients: Potatoes, sunflower oil, salt, dehydrated black summer truffle (T. aestivum Vitt.) and truffle aroma.

From occasions like birthday gifts to valentines day, this is a great gift!
