Yeah, I’m not surprised this ranked this high. I drank a lot of this when I lived in Dushanbe for a couple of months. I really got a taste for the rye bread and nutty vibe with a super soft mineral water feel. This is just a really well-crafted, classic Russian vodka. 1.

It’s distilled using a four-column still process and local, Polish water before being charcoal filtered and bottled. Everything from the delicious spirit inside to the classy, translucent bottle makes Belvedere live up to its name, which translates as “beautiful to see”. Fill a shaker with ice, Fris Vodka, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake until chilled and strain the mixture into a chilled glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy the cool sensation of the Fris Freeze! Orange Fris-k: I agree, the new Canadian brand tastes like spoiled gin. I’ve been a big fan of Pinnacle as a cheap vodka and I saw the new bottle and tried it and it has an overwhelming bad taste even when mixed with the strongest mixers. Very much something being sold based on brand name only. I work at a liquor store. Fris is now made in Canada and is nowhere near as good as it was when it was still made in Denmark. The redesigning of the bottle coincided with the move to Canadian production and the huge drop in quality. Its a shame because the old Fris was so good and very affordable.

Where as normal heat distillation heats the mash ( or wart ) to between 173 and 212 degrees and then collects the gas into liquid form as alcohol it leaves behind fusal alcohols ( that burn taste ), basically impurities…now Fris traps those fusal alcohols by freeze distillation, pulls them out leaving a pure spirit free of harsh impurities. I love this vodka…quite possibly my favorite. ABV: Alcohol By Volume — the percentage of ethanol in a beverage. The average vodka alcohol percentage is 40%. While it might not be everyone’s first choice for a sipper, some of the best-tasting vodkas on the market are designed to be enjoyed in a cold glass with nothing more than an ice cube to bring out the varied flavor profiles. I agree, I’ve been drinking Fris for several years now and the bottle switch has definitely affected the taste. It was like an epiphany for me…I used to drink something else and then they switched to plastic and I thought they also reformulated the product because the taste was so much different, so I switched brands. Tonight I was reminded of that taste by my new plastic bottle of Fris and realized they most likely had not changed the basic composition of the contents…it was the container changing the effect on my palette! This Swedish vodka is made from 100 percent winter wheat. The brand is one of the most recognizable bottles of booze in the world thanks to its unique bottle and the easy-to-drink juice inside of that bottle (and a hell of a history of excellent marketing).

That is very disappointing to learn. I enjoyed the glass bottle of Fris that I had about 2 years ago. Belvedere is the result of 600 years of Polish vodka-making tradition. The brand, owned by LVMH, is named after Belweder, the Polish presidential palace in Warsaw, and is produced in one of the world’s longest-continuously operating Polish distilleries. The vodka brand maintains strict production guidelines to keep its consistently premium taste, ensuring that each step of the process occurs on Polish soil, using locally-sourced raw ingredients. It’s also the only vodka brand to be awarded the Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark, which recognizes its commitment to quality craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. Absolut Ingredients listings for alcoholic products are not mandatory, so additional care is necessary. So to be safe, tipplers with gluten sensitivity should choose specialty vodkas made from potatoes, corn, or grapes (like Cirac, Tito’s, and Crystal Head) and avoid single distilled spirits. Or they can opt for gluten-free vodka brands with an extensive distillation process, like Grey Goose or Burnett’s. The top five best brands of vodka Belvedere

Traditionally distilling is done with heat. The alcohol boils at a lower temperature than the rest of the the solution, which allows for separating the alcohol. The “continual 6 column process” refers to continuous distillation. To quote Wikipedia, “Continuous distillation, a form of distillation, is an ongoing separation in which a mixture is continuously (without interruption) fed into the process and separated fractions are removed continuously as output streams.” Daniel mixed Fris with Red Bull and thought it was not too overbearing or too strong for the mixer. He pointed out that it goes down well, no bad aftertaste. After his shot, he noted that Fris burns but is not bitter.

While Absolut offers plenty of flavor variations, its original, unflavored vodka should be a staple of any liquor cabinet.
