🥃 Viru Valge Watermelon
Viru Valge vodka with the taste of juicy ripe watermelon; 37.5% ABV; made on grain spirit.
Viru Valge Watermelon is a flavoured vodka from the Estonian Viru Valge brand, with a watermelon taste. Its strength is 37.5% ABV. According to Liviko, it is fresh and expressive, with the taste of juicy ripe watermelon. Among the flavoured versions of the brand, it is the only one with a melon taste, rather than a berry or orchard fruit taste.
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 composition of the aroma is not described on the product page.
Why this matters to you. Watermelon 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 Green Apple, which is also fresh, and with Viru Valge Cherry, which is sweeter and spicier. The classic Viru Valge Vodka has no flavour and is 40% ABV. WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol.
