The story
Production associated with the Koskenkorva name has historical roots in the Koskenkorva area, with distilling activities dating back to the 1930s and 1940s. The Koskenkorva brand later became known nationally and internationally for its vodka and flavored variants; the modern-form vodka has been on the market since the 1950s (the brand site references 1953 for some historical uses of the product).
Production philosophy
Strong focus on sustainability and circular economy: valorization of locally grown barley, efficient use of agricultural resources and reduction of the environmental impact of production. The brand promotes more sustainable farming practices and initiatives to lower the carbon footprint across the supply chain.
Territory
Produced in the locality of Koskenkorva (village in the municipality of Ilmajoki), Finland. Key ingredients (barley) mainly come from surrounding agricultural areas and the water comes from springs/wells in Finland.
Production method
Continuous distillation of neutral alcohol from local barley; the process uses the whole barley grain and employs untreated spring water. The plant uses processing by-products (e.g. barley husks) for bioenergy production; production is described as operational for most of the year.
Distillation
Continuous distillation (multi-stage high-purity process)
