Citron Vodka

Category: Flavored Vodka

Date Tasted:
Country: Sweden
Alcohol: 40%
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of candied lemon, sweet lime, and orange blossom honey with a round, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and a tingling, engaging, snappy finish that shows accents of lemon, lime and ginger, strawberry licorice, and ripe bartlett pear with lemon juice. A delicate and neutral Vodka with little to no alcohol intrusion allowing the various shades of citrus to shine; a benchmark for the style.

About
Flavored Vodka
Since Vodka tends to be a neutral spirit, it lends itself to blending with flavors and fortifying other beverages. In the 19th century, high-proof "Russian spirit" was held in high esteem by Sherry producers in Spain, who imported it to fortify their wines.

Neutral spirits are still used to fortify Port, Sherry, and other types of fortified wines, although the source of alcohol for such purposes these days tends to be the vast "wine lake" that has been created by European Union agricultural practices.

Flavored Vodkas have been produced from the start, originally to mask the flavor of the first primitive Vodkas, but later as a mark of the distiller's skill. The Russians and Poles in particular still market dozens of flavors.
