      Pure Koskenkorva is made out of grain and it is not considered to be Vodka. Whereof traditional Vodka is made out of potatoes. Vodka is not a Nordic or Scandinavian thing. Pure Kosken is viina or brännvin in Swedish. BTW vodka is a Slavic word meaning little water.

    They didn't bump it up. You bought a different one. There's Koskenkorva Viina (sw. Brännvin) which is 38% and then there's Koskenkorva Vodka which is 40%. Before, Viina was the only one that was being sold, but after EU regulations stating that anything called vodka has to be at least 40% came into effect, the Vodka version was launched (I'm guessing, in order to not confuse international customers).

    You´ve become full grown finn now and your taste has changed to finn too 😄. Also last time that hangover might been one thing that made everything taste awfull.
    I remember that you made also other alcohol taste video with your mom. Then you got at least Jaloviina aka Jallu. It is horrible and i don´t like it at all and other that would be nice to see if you would taste Gambina (that is something what finnish alcoholics consumes the most). Long time ago there were also Herba that was made from pihlajanmarja (i have no idea what the heck that is in english) and that was cheap and stong liquer.

    Koskenkorva VIINA and Koskenkorva VODKA are different, the viina tastes worse

    I just drank a big Minttu bottle alone a week or so ago... Had it in the freezer and took shots throughout the day. It is so good. Of course can't have it too often, it is quite sweet.
    EDIT. I am like Kat, I can't drink kossu at all. I absolutely hate the taste. Vodka, nothing, but Kossu and other Finnish viina is just gross.

    I love you guys. You´re beautiful together. How about Emma when you two get a daughter? As a name I mean.
