Karlsson's Gold Vodka available to on trade
Karlsson's Gold Vodka (70cl/40% abv) is now available to the on trade via drinks importer Fluid Brands and its distributors — Coe Vintners, Speciality Drinks, Amathus Wines and Venus PLC.
The vodka is created by Börje Karlsson, co-founder of the Absolut range of vodkas, using virgin new potatoes (young potatoes that have not yet formed skin) grown in Sweden's Cape Bjäre.
"I have always wanted to honour Sweden's vodka heritage by creating a classic potato vodka, using the finest potatoes from Cape Bjäre," said Karlsson.
Gold Vodka is made from seven varieties of Swedish potatoes and distilled just once, in contrast to more common vodkas.
The spirit is said to complement flavours such as black pepper, tarragon and orange.
