  Vodka production is not a foreign concept in Tasmania, with almost all current whisky distilleries producing the adaptable spirit in order to maintain cash flow while their whisky matures. Many with great success. And why not? Tasmania boasts some of the cleanest air and purest water in the world, the latter being essential for any successful vodka. Add some of the best brewing barley to the mix and it will come as no surprise why 666 Vodka was conceived. It was a gold medal winner at the 2010 San Francisco world spirits competition, the first Australian Vodka to win this award. It's created from 100% Tasmanian barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills and charcoal filtered to rid of any impurities and finally cut down to 40% ABV with rainwater collected from Cape Grim.

  The brand has recently combined efforts with a champion barista - Matt Perger of Melbourne’s St Ali Coffee Roasters.

  “The combination of coffee and alcohol have so much potential for a delicious relationship but things often go awry,” said Perger. “The infusion of coffee into vodka is one of these moments when flavour doesn’t always live up to expectations. Vodka, and its high alcohol content, is an especially virile solvent. That is, it’s very good at stripping flavour out of other ingredients. When introduced to coffee, it can expose a lot of dry-distillate flavours that don’t usually appear when brewing with water. These flavours can be unpleasantly medicinal, quinic, ashy and burnt; none of which we want to see in our coffee vodka.”

  “After many experiments and taste tests with 666 I can happily announce that we’ve been able to control the extraction of the coffee flavours to a point where we’re only getting the good stuff. A rich, chocolaty, fruity and lingering coffee flavour that sits happily alongside 666’s vodka without interfering or overpowering — a perfect sipper, mixer or accent to any drink.”

  ABV: 35%

  The complete range of Van Gogh Vodkas are produced under contract at Dirkzwager Distillery, in Schiedam Holland, a family owned company established 125 years ago. Besides producing their own brands, the distillery also produce many private labels, including Van Gogh, various vodka-based Liqueurs and Amsterdam vodkas. Dirkzwager Distilleries Master Distiller, Mr. Tim Vos, handcrafts Van Gogh Vodka in small batches using the finest grains - primarily a combination of wheat and a little corn and barley. The vodka is distilled twice in column stills and then a third time in a traditional pot still to produce a spirit of the highest refinement. The copper pot still takes the "bite" out of the alcohol, making the vodka particularly smooth. Purified water which is considered superior over distilled water is employed. Mr. Vos believes that when water is distilled, it takes the character out and the water becomes a liquid without identity. Mr.Vos's desire and passion to continuously achieve perfection is evident in his award-winning vodkas, all made through this same multiple distillation process.

  For those in love with the standard Espresso bottling, this is the next step with double the caffeine content equivalent to three espresso shots.

  Tasting note: Slightly viscous, deep transluscent, burnt umber appearance with a deep mauve blush. Smells like ‘chico’ lollies (a chocolate variation on the jelly baby). Second pass brings out more of the coffee-mocha naturalness with hints of milk chocolate. The palate repeats the aromas and maintains an appropriate balance between the sweet / gently bitter aspects although more bitterness would be desirable. Finishes clean, dry and mildly spicy. 35% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... The supple bouquet has a strong coffee bean-like quality with additional scents of cocoa, road tar, roasted chestnut and wood smoke. The palate entry and midpalate are nicely mellow with plenty of rich espresso character. Finishes smoked and tar-like, with the coffee taking a back seat. P.P. (10/1/2006)

  Van Gogh Espresso Vodka utilizes Columbian coffee beans, which are then infused with premium grain alcohol. This is a quick and thrifty solution for creating a classic Espresso Martini.

  Tasting note: Crystal clear appearance. What a compelling opening sniff! Equates to dipping your nose into a bag of freshly ground coffee. Stunning purity. The initial impact subsides, but only marginally, with the aromas turning towards milk chocolate and gently toasted coconut. Retains excellent intensity even after ample aeration, as many other flavoured vodkas don’t. A soft, silky entry leads into a mid palate burst of creamy coffee flavours that just avoids been overly sweet. A subtle spirit warmth adds depth. Dries towards the finish with a persistent cafe-creme, marzipan note returning into the aftertaste. A stunning effort! 35% Alc./Vol.
