Finland is a pure, pristine environment where Finlandia production focuses on creating a naturally pure vodka that has: - The purest ingredients - proven to have the least amount of impurities. - Naturally filtered, pure glacial spring water - the water is so pristine, any artificial filtering would reduce its purity. - Uses only select six-row barley - most expensive distiller's grain; very low in oils that leave impure tastes and odours; ripens slowly under 'Midnight Sun'. - Continuous distillation - producing the clearest, smoothest vodka (stills that require triple or quadruple distillation never quite achieve Finlandia's exceptionally pure taste and quality). - Environmentally friendly production - Cold eliminates need for insecticides; by-products of production are recycled; distillery is energy efficient. - All natural fruit flavours and essences - Finlandia pioneered the concept of creating a fusion of flavours combining vodka and fruit.
