VAN GOGH VODKA HAS ARTFULLY CAPTURED THE AUTHENTIC TASTE OF 22 DIFFERENT FLAVORS.

VAN GOGH'S EXPANSIVE PORTFOLIO ALSO INCLUDES THE HARMONIOUS CLASSIC 80 PROOF,

THE SUPER-SMOOTH BLUE TRIPLE WHEAT, AND THE DUTCH STYLE VAN GOGH GIN.

BLUE TRIPLE WHEAT

The exceptionally smooth Van Gogh Blue Triple Wheat Vodka is a well-ballanced spirit that offers subtle, neutral flavors of European grains laced with mineral undertones. The finish delivers delicate, yet consistent notes of wheat with an edge of minerality for a dry and polished finish.

RASPBERRY

Raspberries from Germany provide a typical raspberry flavor.

The nose is full of sweet red fruit and in the mouth, a hint of black currant is recognizable through the layers of fruit that linger.

GRAPE

The flavor of Van Gogh Grape is light and a bit sweet, resulting from the concord grapes used, with a hint of bitterness for balance.

The grape flavor is notable but rounded out with other soft fruits such as apricot.

A?AI-BLUEBERRY

A classic combination of two distinct fruits, marrying these two flavors takes a delicate hand.

The taste maintains its structure with the A?ai tannin but is tempered by the blueberry, raspberry, and a bit of almond.

BANANA

Our banana flavor comes from Venezuela. The aroma is unmistakable, rich, and concentrated.

Like the nose, the taste is pure banana - lush and creamy with a hit of tart acidity to temper the sweetness, with a finish that is long and lingers in the mouth.

CLASSIC 80

Handcrafted using the finest ingredients, this classic spirit is distilled three times to achieve unrivaled excellence. This dedication produces a vodka acclaimed by connoisseurs worldwide.

COCONUT

This is a bold, tropical flavor with a typical coconut aroma and taste. Warm notes of rum and chocolate are recognized, becoming more apparent as the vodka aerates. Chocolate notes and a dash of vanilla give a soft finish.

PINEAPPLE

Van Gogh Pineapple contains a beautiful and irresistible flavor of it's signature fruit, complemented by a hint of orange in the background. The citrus taste is strong and long lasting and the aromas are reminiscent of freshly cut pineapple.

MANGO

Our mango flavor originates from Indonesia and imparts an exotic mango taste, with refined notes of orange, cucumber, and herbs. Smooth with a long finish that lingers on the palate.

CITROEN

A zesty combination of ripe lemons and limes that is fresh and playful on the palate. It's wonderfully versatile for mixing with a touch of bitterness from the rinds providing good balance.

VAN GOGH GIN

This is a sophisticated blend that has subtle but pure flavors that come together gracefully. With a noticeable aroma of citrus tempered by a suggestion of licorice.

The cassia bark and licorice mingle together brilliantly for a wonderful experience, finishing with nuances of lemon and almond.

VANILLA

Vanilla originally grown near the equator provides this vodka with its genuine vanilla taste.

Exotic yet comforting aromas are complemented by a pure vanilla flavor that is decadent and long lasting.

DUTCH CHOCOLATE

Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka has a brilliant aroma and flavors from the finest cocoa. Subtle undertones of caramel and coffee create a sophisticated taste on the palate.

WILD APPEL

Crafted from barely ripe green apples grown in the Netherlands, the flavor, reminiscent of Granny Smith apples, is crisp and intense with a refreshing sour backbone.

A soft touch of vanilla provides balance.

MELON

Our melon flavor is a blend of Spanish cantaloupe and honeydew. The taste is genuine melon with a bit of honey and a touch of cucumber for freshness.

This m?lange of flavors melds beautifully in the mouth; the finish is soft, smooth, and long.

DOUBLE ESPRESSO

Crafted from the finest coffee beans, our master distiller captured the brilliance of a roasted cup of espresso.

A touch of smooth bitterness blended with burned sugar forms the palate, with notable Colombian beans and a hit of a caramel.

COOL PEACH

Van Gogh Cool Peach features the fantastic combination of ripe, juicy peach complimented by a bright hit of mint.

Aromas and flavors of vibrant peach with an undertone of almond are followed by a cool touch of mint that lingers for a refreshing finish.

RICH DARK CHOCOLATE

Van Gogh's newest chocolate treat is its most decadent and delightful to date.

Intense, dark cocoa is beautifully complimented by notes of coffee, chili pepper, caramel, and exotic spice. Giving it layers of sophisticated chocolate with a slightly spicy finish.

ESPRESSO

Van Gogh Espresso has a wonderful aroma of fresh roasted coffee beans complemented by a spark of cocoa.

Just the right amount of bitterness with rich coffee flavor that lingers, the aftertaste also expresses a smooth cocoa finish.

POMEGRANATE

Our pomegranates come from Spain. A balance of sweet and bitter denotes the flavor, just like a real pomegranate.

Strawberry, cranberry, and orange also support the intense pomegranate flavor, rounding out the texture and body.

DUTCH CARAMEL

Locating the balance between sweet burned sugar and the signature candy, the result is pure decadence.

Undertones of vanilla and chocolate are finished with caramel and coffee. We used the burned sugar to naturally color the vodka to a rich shade of caramel.

ORANJE

Voted as one of Wine Enthusiast's 2010 Spirits of the Year, Van Gogh Oranje is a smooth and inviting blend of sweet Florida oranges.

Authentic flavor derived from the pulp and skins that is both rounded and refreshing. A hit of apricot provides palate depth.

BLACK CHERRY

We used black cherries from the United States because of their richness.

Highly aromatic, the black cherry also has some tannin which adds a refined touch of bitterness to the cherry's sweet and fresh flavor.

MOJITO MINT

Our Mojito Mint uses fresh spearmint and a hint of lime for a playful taste reminiscent of a traditional mojito cocktail.

It is sensationally bright on the palate, with a flavor that lingers for a long delicious aftertaste.

PB&J

The fragrance of Van Gogh PB&J is predominantly peanuts complimented by the fresh fruit aroma of raspberry.

In the mouth, the roles are reversed with raspberry taking over supported by the toasty flavor of peanut butter and a hint of vanilla.

There is a reason The Spirit Journal calls Van Gogh Vodka,

"The best in the flavored vodka business, period."

It's taste, period...

A HISTORY OF QUALITY

Drawing upon more than 135 years of experience, Van Gogh Vodka is handcrafted in small batches by the Royal Dirkzwager Distilleries at the Cooymans Distillery in Tilburg, The Netherlands. The area has been famous since the 16th century for its remarkable water quality and innovation in the distillation sciences. Familyowned, passing from father to son since its establishment in 1879, the Royal Dirkzwager Distilleries received a Royal Appointment in 2005 by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands for more than 125 years of consistent excellence and reliable quality. It is here that second-generation Master Distiller Tim Vos artfully creates the renowned Van Gogh flavored and unflavored vodkas utilizing a proprietary process that simply includes purified water, grains, and the finest flavors available.

Today the portfolio includes 22 authentically flavored vodkas, Van Gogh Classic 80, the Van Gogh BLUE Triple Wheat Vodka and the outstanding Van Gogh Gin.

DUTCH MULES

If you're looking for a refreshing cocktail, look no further than the Mule. It's history spans back to the early 1940's and is responsible for fueling vodka's mainstream acceptance. The signature copper cups have an old-world allure, and bartenders suggest that the copper reacts with the lime to give it an exclusive flavor, while also accentuating the ginger essence. After disappearing in the 1960's, the cocktail's experiencing a resurgence amongst mixologists today.
