What is Finlandia vodka made from?

The barley is distilled into a neutral spirit using a continuous multi-pressure distillation system at a distillery in the village of Koskenkorva operated by Finland’s Altia Corporation.
Is Finlandia Vodka bad for You?
It doesn’t exhibit the mouth drying features of cheap vodka, but it was simply bitter on entrance, in the middle, and on the way down. Finlandia is definitely not a shooting vodka. I mixed Finlandia with Welch’s Strawberry Breeze (strawberry, orange, and pineapple). Finlandia is a pretty good mixing vodka.
What is the best feet vodka you've ever had?
However, the feet vodka I’ve ever had is the Ukrainian brand Хлебный Дар which means “the gift of bread.” That’s the only reason Finlandia doesn’t get 5 stars. Very decent and pure vodka that even Russians will recommend. Excellent price for the quality, too!

Finlandia promotion
During the past several decades, the marketing of Finlandia vodka has involved a number of global promotional campaigns.
Bottle design
Frozen Ice (1970) Tapio Wirkkala designed the original "Frozen Ice" bottle, which conveyed the impression of an ice-cold drink from Lapland in the Arctic North. The textured glass glittered like the surface of an icicle. The label featured two white reindeers sparring against the Midnight Sun low on the horizon.
Overly Sweet Vodkas
I am a beginner drinker with a bad sweet tooth. I know “overly sweet” vodkas are not generally enjoyed amongst the experience vodka drinkers, but if that’s exactly what I’m looking for, what are my options? Thank you!
Beluga Gold Line optimal temperature
Since this is the first time I am going to drink a "more expensive" vodka, I would like to know the optimal serving temperature of a Beluga Gold Line? Some people suggest serving it at room temperature, and other prefer to freeze it first. Is there actually a right way to do it or is it just personal preference?
Recommendation Request: Citrix Infused Vodkas
I'm not much of a drinker, as I generally don't care for the taste. If in a bar when I was younger, I might order a bay breeze (or just cranberry juice and let people assume it has liquor).
Best vodka brand?
Hey, I really liked Baikal Vodka from Russia. More so than Stoli or any of the other popular brands like Absolut, Finlandia, which I didn't like. Baikal is so clean, and smooth, and no lingering aftertaste. Looking for similar. Which brand do you recommend?
Does one or two shots of vodka make your breath smell?
I don’t drink a lot so I never really payed attention to the smell. I have a big job interview tomorrow and I wanted to drink one or two fruit punches with a shot of vodka in each to calm my nerves. My question is will people be able to smell this on my breath or will I be fine?
1. Absolut
Unlike many vodkas on the market (we’re looking at you Smirnoff ), Absolut contains no added sugar. This, combined with its premium taste and determination to use only the highest quality ingredients, positions the brand as our best overall vodka in the world.
Grey Goose
Best served neat, Grey Goose is one of the original ultra-premium vodkas on the market and offers a delightfully crisp taste with a smooth finish. This smoothness can be attributed to the fact that Grey Goose is distilled five times.
3. Svedka
Svedka’s accessible price makes it an excellent brand of vodka to keep in the liquor cabinet at all times. Produced from Swedish winter wheat and distilled five times, it’s a column-distilled vodka with a peppery bite after an initial sweet note.
4. Beluga
Named after the most expensive caviar in the world, it makes sense that Beluga offers top quality vodka, too. The brand produces its vodka in western Siberia, Russia, using artesian water for the ultimate authentic taste.
5. Hangar 1
As a brand, Hangar 1 likes to focus on attention to detail during every part of its distillation process. This small-batch vodka is produced in an old aircraft hanger near San Francisco in small Holstein Pot Stills and is a must-try for any vodka lover.
6. Ciroc
Ciroc vodka differs from many popular choices on the market due to the fact that it’s made from grapes, rather than grains or potatoes. Filtered with charcoal, it’s a high quality vodka with an interesting character.
7. Belvedere
This top-shelf vodka is renowned for being one of the smoothest on the market, and it’s a joy to sip it neat. Belvedere, originating from Poland, is produced at the Polmos Zyrardow distillery (known as the birthplace of all vodka) using Dankowskie Gold Rye.
