Effen Vodka (37.5cl, 40%)

Effen Vodka is a premium Dutch wheat vodka bottled at 40% ABV in a 375ml format. It is produced at the Hooghoudt Distillery in Northern Holland and made entirely from premium French wheat. The vodka undergoes continuous distillation using a proprietary vacuum technique that keeps temperatures below those of conventional distillation, avoiding heat-induced caramelization. The nose is restrained and mineral-driven, with only a faint hint of raw grain. The palate opens smooth and creamy, with soft wheat, vanilla marshmallow and cream, then cracked black pepper spice. The finish is medium in length and clean, with toasted vanilla and creamy wheat and subtle peppery warmth.
