    Pure Koskenkorva is made out of grain and it is not considered to be Vodka. Whereof traditional Vodka is made out of potatoes. Vodka is not a Nordic or Scandinavian thing. Pure Kosken is viina or brännvin in Swedish. BTW vodka is a Slavic word meaning little water.

    They didn't bump it up. You bought a different one. There's Koskenkorva Viina (sw. Brännvin) which is 38% and then there's Koskenkorva Vodka which is 40%. Before, Viina was the only one that was being sold, but after EU regulations stating that anything called vodka has to be at least 40% came into effect, the Vodka version was launched (I'm guessing, in order to not confuse international customers).
