Local Brand Vodka O is a favourite for the Aussie palate
The Australian owned vodka brand has again proven it’s a favourite for the Aussie palate, after being favoured by regular vodka drinkers in a recent taste test. The trial, done last month by leading independent research firm Celsius Research and Australian owned Artisan Spirits Merchants (ASM) saw a group of Sydney university students taste test a variety of leading, popular vodka brands (which were unbranded) and then asked to choose their favourite.
Of the test results, 29.5% of respondents selected Vodka O, for its pure qualities and smooth mouth feel, which comes as no surprise for the already award winning and number three best selling vodka in the country. Vodka O is crafted from 100% whey, and is triple distilled and four-times filtered (once through carbon), which gives the drink its signature smooth and almost impurity-free characteristics.
The favourable test results come just after the launch of Vodka O’s new ready-to-drink cocktail range, which has also proven popular amongst consumers for its more natural take on a prepackaged alcohol drinks. With 30% less sugar and fizz and using only natural colours and flavours the range is a healthier option for those who may choose to drink cider or other vodka premixes; and increasingly popular amongst health-conscious consumers. We know this is a hot topic at the moment.
If you haven’t tried Vodka O and want to see what’s so great about it, and the new range of ready to drink cocktails visit your local liquor outlet.
