Flavoured Vodka
Flavoured Vodkas have been produced for centuries. Initially, extra ingredients were added to mask the harsh taste of rough cuts in early distillates. Nowadays flavouring vodka is a mark of the distiller's skill. The best examples offer a pure, non-confected representation of the key note flavour - not so easily achieved, as many fall into the 'too sweet' trap. Flavoured vodkas are now in vogue with several celebrity affiliated brands leaving a mark on popular culture. Their convenience and versatility as mixers means there's a steady demand, and the flavour range currently available is better than ever. Click here to learn more about Vodka.

Hot Enough Vodka Co. 100,000 Scovilles Naga Chilli Flavoured Vodka (700ml)UNITED KINGDOM$120. 00Bottle$1440.00 DozenABV: 40%"Hotter than the Sun...Instant Insanity..."
A further addition to the emerging new model of taste is a more generalized chemical sensitivity in the mouth, which in fact exists over the whole body (even mucus membranes in the anus are sensitive giving rise to the old Hungarian saying that "good paprika burns twice"). In the mouth, this general chemical and tactile irritability is primarily mediated by the trigeminal nerves in the tongue.(Also called the 'fifth' nerve, the trigeminal nerve is one of the twelve paired nerves that originate in the brain stem. It is both the main sensory nerve of the face and also has certain motor functions including biting, chewing and swallowing). Substances such as ethanol and capsaicin cause a burning sensation by inducing a trigeminal nerve reaction together with normal taste reception. The two main plants providing this sensation are chilli peppers (those fruits of the Capsicum plant that contain capsaicin) and black pepper. Due to lack of a specific word for this flavour in English ("hot" properly refers to temperature; "spicy", to any spice), the French term 'piquant' is occasionally used. If you're looking for some serious trigeminal stimulation, then this vodka is for you.
Believe the hype - This Stuff is the Real Deal!
Rated at 100,000 on the Scoville Scale (yes, someone has created a scale to measure the heat factor of different chillies), this sits around the middle of the firey pyre. If you're the adventurous type but still think this might be too much for you, be sure to have a slice (or a tin) of pineapple ready at hand. It's the best antidote to overwhelming chile heat. N.B. - Any decent chilli product comes with warnings, as does this bottle, to the effect outlined below.

Kangaroo Island Spirits KIS Chilli Flavoured Vodka (700ml)Kangaroo Island, South Australia, AUSTRALIA$74. 99Bottle$899.88 DozenABV: 38%This bottle sports a blanched seedless red chilli infusing a tang of chilli flavour but withholding its heat. Tasting note: Very pale almost water like appearance. The opening aroma is redolent of freshly sliced capsicum but soon shifts to a cooked pepper smell thatās more reminiscent of Asian stir fry and not nearly as compelling as the first sniff. Water like entry. Quite subdued and light throughout with somewhat flabby and mildly soapy capsicum flavours. Thereās a perceptible flourish of pepper heat at the finish but nothing to stimulate hard core devotees of chilli - not what youād expect given the label. Ends meek and lack lustre. 38% Alc./Vol. -

Kangaroo Island Spirits KIS Samphire Lime & Pepper SLAP Flavoured Vodka (700ml)Kangaroo Island, South Australia, AUSTRALIA$79. 99Bottle$959.88 DozenABV: 45%Tasting note: A triple distilled and charcoal filtered vodka, infused with Samphire, Lime and Pepper (it's referred to as SLAP), this is recommended for traditional cocktails such as Margaritas and dry Martinis. We thought it might be an interesting addition to a Bloody Mary. The bouquet opens with scents of fresh cut lime becoming sweeter and more lemon-lime cordial like after brief aeration. A soft, creamy entry leads into a light to medium bodied lime juice profile supported by a pleasant spirit warmth. Finishes more intensely, keenly peel-like and gently tart to balance. The fresh lime aftertaste demonstrates excellent persistence. Really comes into its own with the addition of ice. Fabulously refreshing straight up. Nicely done. 45% Alc./Vol. -

Kleiner Feigling Fig Flavoured Vodka (500ml)$39. 99Bottle$479.88 DozenABV: 20%A party icon in Europe, Kleiner Feigling (little coward) is a unique spirit composed of triple distilled vodka and natural flavourings of fig. The vodka is then charcoal filtered to rid any impurities and diluted to a surprising 20% ABV compared to other 40% ABV for most other flavoured vodkas on the market. This however, creates an easy drinking, smooth spirit when served straight, and potentially allows for a wider aromatic flavour profile of the fig with the absence of the usual alcohol burn.
Created in Germany in 1992, it has since reached annual world wide sales of 1,000,000+ cases.
Serve straight, on the rocks or in a favourite mixed drink.Tasting note: Clear, slightly viscous appearance. Perfumed aromas are sweet and confected and frankly, not at all appealing. It smells something like fruit flavoured bubble gum but only remotely of fig. The palate has good concentration and a silky texture from start to finish. Sweet fruity flavours (cranberry, apple?) are balanced by soft spice - otherwise a one dimensional profile thatās redeemed to some extent by finishing reasonably clean. Some figgy overtones lead into a short aftertaste. 20% Alc./Vol.

Saint Felix Yuzu & Green Tea Spirit (700ml)Victoria, AUSTRALIA$69. 99Bottle$839.88 DozenABV: 35%Yuzu is a yellow citrus fruit with a tart juice, commonly used by chefs to flavour both savoury and sweet dishes. Itās known for its role in the popular Japanese Ponzu sauce and is also made into vinegar. The yuzu orchards and fruit-soaked baths of Japanās alpine region set the scene for this spirit. Its creation involves cold and pot distillation to extract the yuzu and sencha green tea keynotes. The result is a light bodied, fresh and natural spirit akin to a flavoured vodka, less the confected sweetness of some brands. The pleasantly tart character of the citrus is captured alongside hints of ginger and jasmine adding warmth and complexity. The flavours lose definition with minimal dilution, but on the flipside, you could sip this straight. Keep it simple with a few cubes of ice and a slice of lemon. 35% Alc./Vol.
