Review: Karlssons Gold Vodka

by Jeff Ellingson

karlssons gold vodka - CopyKarlssons Gold vodka was introduced in the US in 2007.  The idea for the brand started in 2001 when a group of local potato farmers in Cape Bjare Sweden met with their neighbor Peter Ekelund to discuss forming a co-op and possibly creating a vodka with their virgin new potatoes.  A virgin new potato is a young potato that hasn’t fully developed a skin yet.  Peter who 25 years earlier helped lead the launch of Absolut Vodka, enlisted the help of Borje Karlsson the former head of Product Development of the V&S Group during the development of Absolut.  After a few years of trial and testing Karlsson’s Gold Vodka was launched.  It is crafted with seven varietals of virgin new potatoes including Solist, Gammel Svensk Rod, Princess, Sankta Thora, Hamlet, Marine, and Celine.  Each varietal is distilled once through a continuous column still lined with copper.  They are then blended and unfiltered. 17 pounds of Virgin new potatoes are needed to craft one bottle of their vodka.  The result is a full bodied vodka with a distinct viscosity.The aroma has notes of Italian salad dressing with a vanilla backing.  In my mouth the feel is soft and slightly thickened.  The herb flavored entry is joined by natural unsweetened vanilla and builds to a cocoa influenced peak.  It fades with a mild mouth warming before a creamy lightly peppered potato vodka tasting finish.  This is a very smooth vodka that feels much lighter than the 80 proof it weighs in at.  If you are looking for a truly unflavored vodka, keep looking, but if you are looking for a vodka to savor, give this one a try.
