Yes, we do love product testing various organic libations.  The folks at Sweden-based Kanon Organic Vodka were gracious enough to send us a bottle of their fine organic vodka…and we must admit, it is particularly tasty.

This isn’t some “Gordon Gekko-Come-Lately” vodka distilled by a gaggle of Wall Street guys looking to do something “sexy” with their extra cash.  Kanon vodka is distilled at Gripsholm Distillery (pictured above), which has been producing organic vodka, since 1580 (that’s over 400 years for the math challenged) and was regally appointed by King Gustav III in 1775.

Not some stodgy, behind-the-times outfit, Kanon employs a unique, straight run distilling technique that features the finest locally grown organic wheat, pristine spring water from the company’s own source and nothing else, ever.  Their eco-friendly, green distillery is run on wind and water power and all of their byproducts are renewable.

But all that “green” credibility isn’t worth much if the booze tastes like gasoline and luckily for all involved, our extensive testing confirms that this is a great tasting certified organic vodka, neat or mixed and it’s reasonably priced…very sweet indeed!
