🥃 Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion
Grapefruit Finlandia from 2006: a vodka with natural fruit extracts, 40 % vol., not aged.
Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion is the grapefruit-flavoured vodka of the Finlandia brand, launched in 2006. According to Difford's Guide, it has 40 % vol., the same strength as Classic, and it is not aged. It is described as a very clean vodka with fresh grapefruit zest on the nose and a pleasantly tart, clean taste.
The base is Finlandia vodka made from barley spirit, produced by the Rajamäki distillery in Finland. Natural fruit extracts give the flavour; Difford's Guide does not give the exact amount of extracts or sugar, so check these details on the label. The water for dilution comes from glacial springs near the distillery.
Why this matters to you. This version is useful for comparing a flavoured vodka with Finlandia Classic at the same strength, and with Finlandia Cranberry, which is a little weaker. A flavoured vodka does not become lighter because of its fruit taste: the strength on the label is what it is, so compare exactly that. The WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
