Esbjærg Copper
The copper version of Esbjærg: wheat vodka from Leeuwarden, traditionally distilled in a copper pot still. Silky and pure, with a grainy bite. The bottle for anyone who also wants to drink vodka neat.
Same wheat, a different still
Like regular Esbjærg, Esbjærg Copper comes from Boomsma Distillery in Leeuwarden. The base is also the same: wheat grain alcohol, filtered through activated charcoal. The difference lies in the distillation. Copper is traditionally distilled in a copper pot still instead of using the usual method.
During distillation, copper binds sulfur compounds, resulting in a rounder, cleaner distillate. The result is a silky, pure character with a grainy bite: a little more character than the standard bottle, without losing the neutrality you expect from vodka. It remains 40% ABV.

Neat or mixed: three ways to enjoy Esbjærg Copper

Put the bottle in the freezer for a few hours and pour 3 cl into a small, chilled glass. Taste it neat first: you'll notice how much smoother it is than regular vodka.
