🥃 Danzka Currant
Danzka vodka flavoured with currant: 40% ABV, aluminium bottle with purple livery.
Danzka Currant is a flavoured vodka from the Danish brand Danzka with a currant taste. Its strength is 40% ABV. As with the other versions, the bottle is aluminium; in Currant it has purple livery. Difford's Guide classes this vodka among blackcurrant-flavoured vodkas rather than liqueurs.
According to Difford's Guide, Currant is produced by Danish Distillers in Aalborg, and the brand belongs to Waldemar Behn. A review from 2013 describes red berries and vanilla in the aroma and taste, and black pepper and floral notes in the finish. According to Waldemar Behn, the base is shared across the range: 100% whole grain and six distillation stages.
Why it matters to you. Currant sits alongside Danzka Cranraz and Danzka Citrus: the strength is the same and only the aroma differs. As a flavoured vodka it falls into a separate EU category, so do not confuse it with the classic unflavoured Danzka Forty. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
