Moses Vodka

The second post in a series I am doing on kosher for Passover spirits is on Moses Vodka. Now, this is unusual because it is also based on sugar cane (anyone noticing a trend here?). Moses is actually produced in Finland, and is overseen by, among other authorities, the chief rabbi of Finland and is cross-certified by the OU for Passover consumption, as per the website www.mosesvodka.com (Note: the bottle does not have the OU-P on it, only the local rabbi's stamp!)

It is a medium-bodied vodka with a very clean taste to it. It is a pretty unique product, as most vodkas are made from some form of grain (ie, Grey Goose, Stoli, Smirnoff, Absolut, etc.) or potato (ie, Luksusowa, Chopin, Karlsson's Gold--my favorite). That being said, it is NOT a cheap, throwaway product like the vodka many of us have consumed for years on Passover (its name shall remain off this blog for professional considerations). This is high-quality, top shelf vodka that could be consumed (and should be consumed!) throughout the year, but is also acceptable for Passover consumption. It retails for around $30.
