Finlandia Vodka, 750 ml bottle.

Finlandia is a Finnish vodka produced from six-row barley. Of all Finnish products, it is the brand name that most foreigners associate with the country. Despite this it is almost exclusively directed at the export market. Finlandia was launched in Scandinavia in 1970 and in the United States in 1971. It is exactly the same alcohol as Koskenkorva. However, it has a slightly higher proof, 80, and lacks the small amount of sugar as in Koskenkorva. Even these minor modifications to the recipe result in a markedly dryer taste.
