Pravda Espresso Flavored Vodka

Pravda Espresso is made in Poland from a high-quality grain spirit and multiply filtered spring water, distilled into a clear, structured base before being infused with natural coffee and espresso extracts. That infusion does two jobs: it carries genuine roasted-coffee aroma and a fine bitterness, and it tints the spirit a warm amber rather than the usual clear. At 37.5% by volume the coffee stays expressive without tipping into liqueur-like sweetness, and the clean grain base keeps the whole thing structured rather than cloying.

The nose is intense espresso, all freshly roasted beans and fine roast with a subtle bitter edge. The palate is clearly structured around pronounced coffee and an elegant bitterness, with the vodka base woven in underneath, closing soft, round and long. This one was made for an Espresso Martini: shake 50ml with 25ml fresh espresso and a small dash of coffee liqueur, served up with three coffee beans, the spirit's own roast doubling down on the coffee instead of leaning entirely on the shot.
