The Heritage

Crafted with
Uncompromising Passion

Koskenkorva Vodka Sauna Barrel draws inspiration from the smoky heat of a traditional Finnish smoke sauna in the village of Koskenkorva. The vodka is distilled from local barley and pure spring water sourced from the Salpausselka ridges, then aged in oak barrels where it develops a distinctive character reminiscent of bourbon whiskey. The barrel aging process imparts subtle notes of tar, smoke, and vanilla alongside earthy oak and herbal elements, creating a full-bodied spirit with mineral richness. This innovative approach makes Sauna Barrel one of the few vodkas suitable for traditional whiskey cocktails such as the Mint Julep or Manhattan, while remaining versatile enough for simple serves on the rocks or mixed with cola. The product has won multiple international spirit awards and is recognized for its smooth, complex profile that bridges the gap between vodka and whiskey traditions.

Distilled in Koskenkorva village using continuous distillation process from local barley and pure spring water from the Salpausselka ridges. The vodka is then aged in oak barrels, where it absorbs flavors of bourbon, smoke, and tar. The pure spring water source requires minimal additional filtration, contributing to the spirit's mineral-rich character and smoothness.
