Description
Effen vodka is made in the Netherlands and takes it’s name from the Dutch word for “smooth, even, balanced” according to their marketing website.¬†It is made from Dutch wheat and filtered through charcoal in a “bottom up” fashion (patented, according to the website) where the distillate is forced up the through carbon by pumps rather than letting it filter down by mere gravity.
 This is thought to increase contact with the charcoal and improve purity.
Effen Dutch Raspberry Vodka¬†is flavored with both raspberries and vanilla for what they describe as a “light, crisp taste.” Formerly known simply as “Effen Raspberry” it was re-branded in 2011 as “Effen Dutch Raspberry.”
The complex combination of all natural raspberry and vanilla flavors in Effen Dutch Raspberry make for a light, crisp taste you won’t find anywhere else. It’s refreshing, whether enjoyed straight up or in a cocktail.
