Capital Wine & Spirit International, the London-based company now run by the fifth generation of the Sklar family, knows the world of strong alcohols inside out. In August 2000, it launched a vodka that was highly acclaimed for its powerful 88% alcohol content. Balkan 176 vodka is made from high quality grains (5 cereals) harvested in the mountains of Serbia. The production phase takes place in Poland, in small quantities, in an artisanal way, with triple distillation and at all stages of production, a requirement of excellence without concession. Coming from the East of the European continent, Balkan 176 is surely the most powerful vodka available on the British market.
Naturally, it is not intended to be drunk neat, although a sample can be tasted to see that beyond its exceptional strength, Balkan 176 vodka is strikingly fine and reaches a surprisingly high aromatic level. The packaging contains no less than thirteen health warnings to reason with the unwary consumer.
176 Balkan Vodka will reach its full potential when mixed with fruit juices or tonic water and above all when dynamizing many cocktails. Some mixology specialists have described Balkan 176 Vodka as "supercharger ", which says enough about the strength of its energy.

Aujourd'hui je ne prend presque plus que cette vodka (à faible dose) et même si c'est un peu du gâchis elle se marie très bien en cocktail.
Donc si je devais résumé amateurs d'alcool fort n'ayez pas peur de son taux d'alcool et laissez vous surprendre par sa finesse quasi artisanale.
