LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A reliable and honest vodka. It doesn't attempt to be ostentatious, focusing instead on a crystalline clarity that wins by being dependable.

The Library Note

Featuring a bottle designed by Prince Sigvard Bernadotte, Explorer was Sweden's first spirit to officially adopt the 'Vodka' moniker. While its initial US launch was a quiet affair, it conquered the Swedish market through its focus on absolute purity and its iconic identity.

THE NOSE

Faintly bready with a crisp, cold-air neutral aroma.
