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.

@@madsbuhris Maybe you know better, but many sources say that vodka is made of grain or potato, including EU legislation? Vodka made of other materials need to be labeled "produced from......" But as I said, maybe you have more info on this. Also, traditional is a tricky concept. :D
I think because Dave is drinking from the bottle, he doesnt get as much of the smell as Cat does drinking from the small cup and that makes the taste a little less strong. But he also obviously has a strong tolerance.

bottle is cold so kossu in it is cold. Glass is warm and it warms up tiny amount of kossu
Pour that salmiakkikossu on top of Baileys in a shot glass, fifty-fifty, and you have a drink called “Grandma’s Slipper”. It is absolutely fantastic!

Salmiakki kossu is the BEST! I brought home 4 bottles when we visited back in September. Tastes like candy 🤤
Kat is so pretty with that haircut
Dave! You have become to family guy like all other of us. When you finally have it (that alcohol) it makes you relaxed...No fuzzy.. No Pain... No Pressure... It´s like you have noticed that you have those little hairs have grown in your ears in ten years. If not they will be there soon. Hairs where they not belong.... It´s evolution. More hairs in your ears less noise, more hobbies. P.S. Wrote this in 2.55am when i had some(lot) drinks and whifey and kids where in sleep...Love you both!! keep up good work like "we" do!
There is Koskenkorva viina that is 38% and Koskenkorva vodka that is 40%.

Dave just hasn't noticed how Finnish he has become over the years.
the first time around you had koskenkorva viina, aka the "original" slightly lower proof spirit with a hint of added sugar, this time around you tried koskenkorva vodka, which is a pure 40% neutral grain spirit :) Alko salesperson has spoken :D

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).
always nice to see immigrants integrate to Finnish customs. drinking viina with straight face :D
Koskenkorva viina and Koskenkorva Vodka are different products
5:42 the Koskenkorva you tasted 5 years ago was the original Koskenkorva viina 38%. This time it was Koskenkorva vodka, which is the same drink but with either 40% or 60%.

I'm over for Christmas (over from Germany) and was surprised and thrilled to find London Pride as Prisma in Turku. OK, expensive, but having not had any proper bitter in ages it was a joy. I remember the bad old days of Alko when it was a stern grey experience with counters and disapproving women begrudgingly selling you bottles of plain Koskenkorva. Now they're like a good offie with cheerful, if not always helpful, staff.
When I watched the first alcohol tasting video I was still underage. This is much more fun to watch now that I have tasted these myself and have my own opinions to compare to Dave's.
I quit drinking alcohol 3months ago! But this video was soo hilarious 😂
Better watch this video now before youtube takes it down
Still dying to try the Korvapuustit flavour Minttu. I legged it to the Alko before closing time to find some when I was on holiday but the lady said they only had the toffee popcorn one left. That was really nice though.
It is nice to see some foreigners tasting our delicacies. Soon Dave will become completely Finnish and will get drunk every weekend, one at least beer a day, and think about the lovely darra every morning.
If there ever was any doubt whether Dave is Finnish or not, NO MORE 🤣🤣🤣
Dave, are you going to make your lignoberry-infused Maksalaatikko this Christmas?
I think the fatherhood + dirty diapers has roughed up Dave so much that he needs to move into whiskeys from vodkas 🤣
Self made Salmiakkikossu video next, please! :)
Minttu + Fazer Dumble Drink or Pätkis is such a great mix.. You should really try it sometimes 😊

Dave has to make a third video when he can taste again. In addition, you have to include jaloviina, its very traditional finnish alcohol.
This is hilarious how much of a finn you've become😂
In Tuonela they offer you a black drink, so that you will forget that you have died... that drink has to be salmari.

Now that's the true test!
Koskenkorva Vodka is not the original "Kossu" which the Finnish alcoholics consume the most 😄
If you're going to try and make your own "salmari", why not try the yellow turkinpippuri (which is "licorice" flavoured). Would be a bit more different from that authentic salmiakkikossu, but I think it'd be quite good.

As a candy, those are really good. Not hot tho but i like the taste. There were long period that those candies wasn´t available. I have to grab bag of those next time when i go to market.
btw dave there are koskenkorva 30%, 38% and 40% and many more
Vodka shot should be ice cold, was it? Anyway when we get older, taste buds go numb haha. Proper Finn Dave!
That small Minttu is great mouthwash bottle.
It’s just so fun that i am an 14-year old boy from Finland and i can speak Finnish it properly but i also can read, understand and speak English really well and i think that English is not as complicated as Finnish language. But i just think its fun that i and a lot of my aged Finnish children can speak English and Finnish really well and English people just can’t. But i understand because you don’t study Finnish in Great Britain, i heard that you study German there. English language have came a lot more popular in Finland these years that me and my friends use just English memes and we joke in English because i think that English memes like in tiktok are funny. But it’s really nice to see you live in our country trying salmiakki my favourite candy😄 Hope you see northen lights in if you yet haven’t yet seen😁🇫🇮❤️🇬🇧

Valhalla is better than jäger! Till Valhalla!!
Definitely make some salmari yourself. And use the proper Turkinpippuri, not any knock off brands. It tastes much better than the store bought salmari.
Btw 2dl version of minttu is 50% :)
Salmiakki koskenkorva is way too sweet, even though i love salmiakki. Its better when you infuse a bag of turkinpippuri in a bottle of vodka
Jari Sillanpää invented the Salmiakkikossu before he became famous 👍
"Viina" is a historical designation because 38% was not considered vodka. Today, there is a small text on the label, "Suomalaisesta ohrasta - vodka". Less than 37.5% is domestic barley and water.
that salmiakki koskenkorva is my go to every time i drink! with some energy drink mixed in, i can drink the whole bottle easily (the bigger bottle not that small one)

Dave have you been training with a Finn (Leo)?
Koskenkorva and Koskenkorva VODKA is different product.
Next time a Gambina taste test. 👌
Herbal spirits sound interesting but many contain so much sugar that they're not to my taste...one could always add sugar if so wanted.
You forgot one finnish classic, Jaloviina! Pick the one star one.
You´ve become full grown finn now and your taste has changed to finn too 😄. Also last time that hangover might been one thing that made everything taste awfull. I remember that you made also other alcohol taste video with your mom. Then you got at least Jaloviina aka Jallu. It is horrible and i don´t like it at all and other that would be nice to see if you would taste Gambina (that is something what finnish alcoholics consumes the most). Long time ago there were also Herba that was made from pihlajanmarja (i have no idea what the heck that is in english) and that was cheap and stong liquer.
On a different note, marriage was brought up, which obviously knew you two are married. What's the reason for you not having a ring though? Was something I noticed 😅 Also, though I am a Finn myself, never had any but the Salmiakki but been a while now as I moved from Finland nearly 9yrs ago.
Koskenkorva 38% and 40% are different produckts
Finnish alcohol reactions w/o Hjalle/Jallu/Jaloviina??
I bet I'm not a first but Koskenkorva and Koskenkorva Vodka isn't the same think. And that expalins that 2% jump in alcohol vol.
He drinks with the confidence of a proper alcoholic
But Valhalla actually is kinda classic, no-one just drinks it anymore for some reason
