Karlssons Gold Vodka Set with Pepper
Is handcrafted, single-distilled and unfiltered to preserve the flavour and character of this rare and expensive raw ingredient.
This Vodka is produced in Sweden from potatoes by Börje Karlsson who is formerly from Absolut.This is one of the few vodkas made with potatoes – which contrary to popular prejudice (particularly vociferous among Russians for some reason)- is a premium ingredient for vodka. Sweden has along with Poland been one of the few countries that used potatoes for vodka. In Sweden, they also have taken it much further. In this case, they use new spring potatoes ( always a delicacy in Sweden and many other places) further differentiate themselves by distilling and blending 7 different varieties to achieve a balance of characteristics . Each bottle uses approximately 8 kilos (10 lbs roughly) of potatoes per bottle. The distillation is also unique- rather than distill it to death (or the death of flavor) it is distilled carefully, only once to preserve the taste and terroir of the vodka.
