Review: Effen Cucumber Vodka

Effen Cucumber vodka is one of five vodka flavors Effen creates in Holland starting with a 120 year old recipe.  They start with Dutch grown wheat and pure spring water that has been further filtered through reverse osmosis.  A low temperature continuous rectification process is used to avoid caramelization of the sugars .  This eliminates the bitter after taste found in some vodka’s.  The vodka is then filtered five times through active carbon in a bottom-up filtration process.  Natural cucumber and vanilla flavor is added before bottling at 75 proof in their trademark rubber wrap around bottle.  Effen was not the first cucumber flavored vodka nor the last.  I last counted 9 different cucumber vodka’s on the market today.  The aroma is fresh sliced cucumber with a hint of vanilla.  The first sip starts with a soft creamy vodka and unsweetened vanilla followed by a muted cucumber.  The cucumber flavor builds in intensity and at its peak I pick up some floral vanilla blossom notes before giving way to vanilla bean.  There is a mild to medium mouth warming and the vanilla flavor fades into a dry peppery cucumber finish with a little more heat and sting from the vodka.  Based on the aroma, I expected more cucumber flavor, and served at room temperature I did.  Effen does offer several creative recipes on their website, including these two.
