Unlike many flavored vodkas, Laplandia places great emphasis on ensuring that the natural berry flavors remain clearly in the foreground, not the alcohol. This approach is precisely what makes Laplandia's flavored vodkas surprisingly smooth and approachable on first sip. Only natural flavorings in the form of essential oils, extracts, and distillates are used, and the entire production process is environmentally friendly. The base for this Laplandia Flavored Bilberry Vodka is Laplandia Classic Vodka, made from Finland's world-renowned artesian water and refined with all-natural bilberry juice. The bilberry, the wild and particularly aromatic cousin of the blueberry, grows exclusively in the forests of the far north and significantly shapes the character of this specialty. On the nose, the vodka is exceptionally soft, fresh and authentic with clear notes of sweet berries, while the palate reveals a mildly bitter taste carried by intense berry sweetness - almost as if the juice had just been freshly squeezed into the bottle.
The Finnish brand Laplandia stems from a deep respect for the nature of the far north. Founded in 2009 by Global Drinks Finland Oy (GDF), the owners visited Lapland, the last great wilderness in Europe. Concerns about sustainability and environmental issues arose, leading to the idea of a spirits brand that would reflect the values and characteristics of the North. This sparked the creation of the brand slogan "Land of Purity." Laplandia Classic Vodka is an original creation and the flagship of the Laplandia brand. This premium vodka is made from wheat distilled seven times and groundwater, which boasts exceptional purity through a natural clarification and purification process. The rainwater is filtered after permeating 1,000-year-old sand layers and stored in the heart of an esker. This premium vodka is refined with just a drop of natural honey, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and velvety taste experience. The minimalist bottle, designed with white and wintry elements, represents the essence of Lapland and is decorated with genuine 24-karat gold.
The main ingredient in vodka is 60% water. The name "vodka" comes from the Russian word "voda," meaning water. In other words, the most important factor in the quality of Laplandia Vodka is the water. And Finland is known for its clean artesian groundwater springs, many of which originated in the Ice Age. These springs undergo a natural purification process, filtered through an esker and thick layers of sand that are thousands of years old. The sand, once washed by icy glacial meltwater, thus acts as a natural water purifier. With Laplandia Flavoured Coconut Vodka, Finland meets the taste of an exotic tropical island!

Enjoy it neat and chilled, or as a base for tropical cocktails!
The Laplandia brand was founded in 2009 by Global Drinks Finland out of love and respect for nature in the far north – the last Arctic wilderness in Europe. Even then, concerns about sustainability and environmental issues existed, which are more relevant today than ever. This ultimately led to the idea of a spirits brand representing the values and attributes of the North, and finally to the brand slogan "Land of Purity!" Another important factor is that Finnish water sources have an exceptionally low mineral content, which is generally considered a measure of water hardness. Finland therefore boasts some of the softest, purest, and most natural artesian water in the world, predestined for the production of velvety and smooth vodkas. Furthermore, Finland has the highest per capita coffee consumption in the world, setting the bar high when it comes to great coffee flavor. Laplandia Flavoured Espresso Vodka is based on the multi-award-winning Laplandia Classic Vodka, which is refined exclusively with natural extracts, resulting in wonderfully intense coffee/espresso aromas. Here's to a passion for coffee paired with velvety vodka!

In Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland, where the sun never sets in summer and the Northern Lights illuminate the sky in autumn, winter, and spring, lies one of the settlement areas of the Sami people. Inspired by this last great Arctic wilderness of Europe, the "Land of Purity," the Laplandia brand was created. While Laplandia vodkas reflect the well-known characteristics and attributes of Lapland, such as purity, cleanliness, and nature, aroma and taste are also paramount in their production. This exceptional vodka bears the name Eclipse—the solar eclipse—a rare phenomenon and an event that few of us ever witness. Laplandia Eclipse Vodka is presented in a tinted bottle with a silver sheen, reminiscent of a solar eclipse, representing the finest glassmaking. The bottle contains a vodka based on seven-times distilled wheat and the purest Finnish groundwater. A drop of xylitol, the natural birch sugar sourced from deep within Lapland's birch forests, was added for a smooth finish. On the palate, this vodka is wonderfully soft and smooth.
All Laplandia vodkas from Finland are made from 96.3% neutral ethyl alcohol, distilled seven times in a column still from non-GMO wheat. Only family farms cultivate this top-quality wheat. During distillation, the gluten is filtered out, allowing Laplandia vodkas to be certified gluten-free. Not to be forgotten is Finland's unique, soft artesian water, which gives these vodkas their undeniable smoothness and purity. Laplandia Classic Vodka is the brand's flagship and forms the basis for the range of flavored vodkas, which use only natural flavors in various forms, such as essential oils, extracts, and distillates. The simple, minimalist bottles were designed to represent Lapland, the "Land of Purity," in all its Nordic and Arctic aspects. This Laplandia Flavored Lemon Vodka features lemon.
