What it is

The barley spirit of the plains: Koskenkorva — Finland's village-named vodka-style spirit from South Ostrobothnia (the Koskenkorva village distillery, since 1953), distilled from Finnish barley in one of the world's most efficient continuous processes; its flavoured sibling Salmiakki Koskenkorva (salty liquorice) is the party legend. Origins: Finnish grain spirit (viina) is centuries old; Koskenkorva industrialised it with barley pride. Made from: Finnish barley, spring water, continuous distillation. How it's made: 1) Ferment barley mash. 2) Distil in the multi-column still. 3) Blend with spring water; bottle. Served: ice-cold shots with sauna and herring; the salmiakki version in tiny chilled glasses. Flavor: clean, faint barley roundness. Strength: 38-40%. Culture: 'Kossu' is woven into Finnish jokes and songs — the spirit of the flat, honest plains. See also: Sahti, Lonkero.
