Interesting facts
"Koskenkorva" Organic is a Finnish vodka made from barley and pure spring water. The barley is grown by local farmers near the village of Koskenkorva without the use of herbicides or any other chemical fertilizers. Even the organically grown barley is stored separately from other grains. Fermentation and distillation of the grain also occur separately from other raw materials. The second component is pure spring water that meets all quality requirements and has not undergone chemical or mechanical treatment. Thanks to this unique recipe, the vodka acquires a special, smooth taste.
About the Manufacturer
In 1888, in the Finnish town of Rajamäki, a group of engineers founded the company Altia. It was engaged in the production of pressed yeast, vinegar, and spirits. In 1919, after Finland became independent, the "Prohibition Law" was enacted, and the factory became state-owned. After the law was repealed in 1932, the company Oy Alkoholiliike Ab was established to produce legalized alcoholic beverages. From 1969 to 1995, the company operated under the name Oy Alko AB, holding a monopoly on the production of alcoholic beverages in Finland. In 1995, Finland joined the European Economic Area (EEA), and the monopoly related to foreign trade was lifted. Alko Ltd was divided into three independent subsidiaries, and the parent company was renamed Altia Group. Today, Altia Group produces its own brands: Blossa, Chill Out, Koskenkorva, Valhalla, O.P. Anderson, Renault, Larsen, and Xanté. The company`s products are well-known in many countries around the world.
