🥃 Viru Valge Rhubarb
Viru Valge vodka with rhubarb flavour: light pink, with herbal notes, 37.5% ABV; made on grain spirit.
Viru Valge Rhubarb is a flavoured vodka from the Estonian Viru Valge brand, with a rhubarb taste. Its strength is 37.5% ABV. According to Liviko, it is clear and light pink, with a rich aroma of juicy rhubarb and herbal notes, and its taste is sweet and sour at once, like fresh rhubarb.
Like the whole Viru Valge line, it is made on pure grain spirit; Liviko describes it as free of allergens and suitable for vegans. The bottle is 0.5 l. The producer suggests serving it with ice and soft drinks or in cocktails. The light pink colour makes it easy to confuse with Viru Valge Cranberry on a shelf, so check the name.
Why this matters to you. Rhubarb is a flavoured vodka: in the EU it is a separate category from 37.5% ABV, and it may be sweetened. Compare it with Viru Valge Cranberry, also tart-sweet, and with the classic Viru Valge Vodka, which has no flavour and is 40% ABV. WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol.
