First we make the vodka.

Handmade from the finest winter wheat. The wheat is milled by us, then we cook, ferment and distill in a copper still. Finally we add the hops. Fine vodka with a hoppy feeling.

The dry hop concept is a Mikkeller touch and a clash of cultures: the beer world and the vodka world meet and unite.

Dry hopping means that we after the actual beer, or in this case the fine vodka, is produced, we add small amounts of hops to the liquid in “teabags”. The vodka slowly takes in the aroma and taste from the hops. No bitterness is added to the vodka while dry hopping, the technique adds fragile aromatic oils and leaves a citrusy and refined taste.

We use American Simcoe hops. Mikkeller is fond of American hops, we like the floral and fruity notes they give. We do not want to spoil the exclusive vodka, we want to refine. That we did! Danish people making a traditional Russian drink with American hops; this is the end of the Cold War. Celebrate this by drinking our vodka and become a Mikkeller freak world vodka citizen with a hop hat dancing Trepak while singing the blues in Danish.
