VOL 79 Vodka arrives as a striking example of a high-proof Estonian spirit designed for serious mixing and precise flavour work behind the bar.
With a clear, crystalline appearance it presents as pure and neutral at first sight, inviting a close look at how heat and texture unfold on the palate.
79% alcohol by volume gives this vodka concentrated intensity; it is a tool for creating bold cocktails, infusions and culinary uses where strength and purity are required.
Serve chilled to tame the alcohol flash and to reveal subtle grain and mineral notes beneath the initial warmth. A recommended serving temperature is 5–10 °C.
Tasting profile and structure
On the nose VOL 79 shows a straightforward, clean aroma profile, where neutral spirit character dominates but delicate cereal or grain impressions can be perceived on careful nosing.
The palate is concentrated and warming, with a clear alcoholic backbone balanced by a finely textured mouthfeel that carries flavors rather than obscure them.
Midpalate maturity reveals restrained savory and mineral hints that complement rather than compete with mixers, making the spirit versatile for both neutral and aromatic preparations.
The finish is direct and lingering, with a crisp, drying quality that leaves a clean aftertaste—ideal when a vodka must stand up in long drinks or punch bowls.
How to enjoy VOL 79 and suggested pairings
This high-proof vodka excels as a base for cocktails that benefit from strength and clarity: punches, stirred classics, and recipes that call for precise dilution will all showcase its properties.
Pair it with savory starters and salty snacks; smoked fish, cured meats, pickles and rye-centered canapés match the spirit’s dry finish and enhance meaty, briny flavors.
For a digestif-style approach, try a small, chilled measure carefully diluted with ice or a splash of water to open aromas and temper intensity while still offering structure.
VOL 79 is also useful for home bar projects such as fruit or herb infusions and for culinary preparations where neutral, high-proof spirit is needed to extract and preserve bright aromatics.
