FRÏS Vodka, 70cl, ABV 37.5%

Product Information

One aspect that sets Fris Vodka apart from other brands is its innovative distillation process. Unlike other vodkas, which are distilled at room temperature, Fris Vodka is distilled at sub-zero temperatures. This is because lower temperatures reduce the need for filtration, resulting in a purer, smoother vodka with a fresher taste. The sky’s the limit when it comes to flavored vodka, a spirit that’s ever-growing in popularity as brands and distilleries discover new combinations and exciting flavor profiles. It’s possible to flavor vodka with almost anything, ranging from more traditional (artificial) fruits to unique and creative offerings like salted caramel, bacon, or chocolate. How to drink vodka As a relatively straightforward spirit, vodka can be distilled from virtually anything. It’s mostly produced by fermenting potatoes or cereal grains like wheat or rye. The majority of plain vodkas—and almost all Russian vodkas—are created with wheat, while Polish vodka favors rye, and Finnish vodka goes for barley. When vodka is produced using something other than potato or cereal grain, like Ciroc, which is made using grapes, it must legally be declared on the bottle.

SKYY Vodka has become a classic American vodka over the last nearly 30 years. The vodka is a grain spirit that’s cut with triple-filtered spring water. Though, starting next month, this will be the “classic” SKYY as a new version is coming out with mineral-enriched water at its core. ABV: Alcohol By Volume — the percentage of ethanol in a beverage. The average vodka alcohol percentage is 40%.

I’ve been told that most modern distillation processes are more like continuous distillation, but I haven’t corroborated that with anyone in the vodka industry. There are plenty of vodkas that are a result of continuous distillation, though. Either way, Fris believes that their freeze distilling and continuous distilling processes result in a better vodka with fewer impurities. For the dollar, Fris is a great vodka. So, they are doing something right. Does it make Fris better than other vodkas that use a different process? That’s highly debatable. Jeremy, Based on what I’ve read, “freeze distilled” just means they make the vodka so cold that the impurities freeze. Presumably they either rise to the top or sink to the bottom and are removed. Traditionally distilling is done with heat. The alcohol boils at a lower temperature than the rest of the the solution, which allows for separating the alcohol. The “continual 6 column process” refers to continuous distillation. To quote Wikipedia, “Continuous distillation, a form of distillation, is an ongoing separation in which a mixture is continuously (without interruption) fed into the process and separated fractions are removed continuously as output streams.” Its expertise comes with thanks to its master distiller, who combines Gensac spring water with French winter wheat. The result is a hint of burnt charcoal mixed with a dash of sweetness and a touch of spice.

I got a bottle of it and it has been a part of many fun times, for someone who really doesn’t like the burn of alcohol this was very pleasant to drink, and well it gets you tipsy that’s the idea right? lol Unlike other vodkas, Grey Goose is only distilled once. Best served neat, Grey Goose is one of the original ultra-premium vodkas on the market and offers a delightfully crisp taste with a smooth finish. It’s one of the creamiest vodkas available, with a clear, grainy nose and a peppery palate with a hint of star anise.

Ciroc uses grapes grown high in the Gaillac region of France and distills its vodka five times before bottling. It uses a cold fermentation process to ensure the best flavors and offers a refreshingly different and excellently crisp taste. The vodka, at 95.6 percent, is then diluted to around 50% with purified or spring water before being distilled again, at which point infusions can be added. The spirit is finished in the pot before common additives like honey or sugar are added. Before the final step, every bottle of vodka goes through a particle filter before it’s chilled and sold. What are the different types of vodka? This is the true outlier on the list (and a country mile behind the rest of the entries). It was so obviously something different than the other grain-based spirits that it straight up felt like flavored vodka. It’s just too saccharine while still being kind of listless. I don’t even know what I’m going to do with this bottle now. 9. Wyborowa Vodka — Taste 8 Pernod Ricard
