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:
This Japanese vodka is made of corn and barley that is separately distilled into various batches with slight differences in Alcohol By Volume (ABV) and taste profile. These batches are carefully blended by experts and then refined with white birch charcoal.
A still is an apparatus used to distill liquid mixtures by heating to selectively boil and then cooling to condense the vapor. This vodka is produced using continuous, column, or “Coffey” stills.

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.
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.
McSweeny’s Beef Jerky delivers a mouth-watering flavour with premium, hand-selected cuts of tender Canadian beef smoked in traditional-style smokehouses. Their Original recipe is delicately seasoned to allow the natural smokehouse flavour to shine through.
Features:
While you still have the flavours in your mouth after a sip of liquor, take a nice size bite of the beef jerky to release the smoky beef flavors, and let it add to the flavour. Then as the smoky and beef flavours fade, the beef jerky notes linger. Take another sip of liquor and round it off.

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!
