Koskenkorva Salmiakki

Koskenkorva Salmiakki is a bold and iconic Finnish liqueur that blends ultra-clean Koskenkorva vodka with intense salty licorice (salmiakki) flavour. Deep black in colour and velvety in texture, it delivers the unmistakable punch of ammonium-chloride licorice with a smooth sweetness and a lingering, spicy finish. It’s rich, edgy, and unapologetically Nordic.

Originally launched in the early 1990s, this liqueur became a cult favourite across Finland and Scandinavia — so popular it was briefly banned due to overconsumption. Reintroduced in a refined recipe, Koskenkorva Salmiakki remains a daring and distinctive spirit. Best served ice-cold in a shot glass or as the base for adventurous cocktails.
