Absolut Vodka Kurant

Pros: The bottle is rather interesting.
Cons: Disappointing after having the Absolut Mandarin.

Since I was unsure of what black currants truly taste like, I went on a search to try to find out some background about these relatives to grapes and berries. Although black currants are used in a variety of teas, jams and jellies, the dried...

Pros: Recognition of the world's best flavour
Cons: Complete bastardization of the world's best flavour

Quick confession: I am a great fan of most all things blackcurrant. I swill Ribena[1] straight from the bottle. I eat blackcurrant Jell-O type confection[2] straight from the box. Triple-strength blackcurrant tea topped off with Ribena and iced has been...

Pros: Love their magazine ads
Cons: Harsh, medicinal flavor that compares unfavorably to cough syrup

I'm quite a cocktail aficionado, as well as being quite a fan of black currants. In fact, despite my well-known loathing for any type of flavored iced tea (particularly that vile Paradise swill), I was surprised to have actually enjoyed a black currant...

Pros: uh.....
Cons: it makes you cry it's so bad

If you want to be magically transported back in time childhood, when your mother had to corner you in order to get you to gag down your cough syrup, give Absolut Kurant a try.

The trustworthy Absolut brand name, as well as the flowery details...

Pros: The taste, the bottle
Cons: The price in Sweden

Absolut is a Swedish brand that has done very well in promoting themselves overseas. It is a perfectly fine vodka to get, especially the non-flavored kind. When it comes to flavors, Kurant is to me a fresh change. In Sweden we drink quite a lot of vodka...

Pros: Tastes Great!
Cons: Doesn't Taste Great coming back up:)

First off let me say that I'm not a big Vodka drinker, but when I do drink it I want nothing but the best. Absolut is one of the finer vodkas. Yes, there are better one's, and there are lots of ones that are not as great. For the price though you...

Pros: Great flavor
Cons: Does not mix well with flavored mixes

If you love fruit smoothies with a punch, you'll love this!
This is a wonderfully flavored vodka, with a rich fruitiness and sweet lingering aftertaste. Not too sweet, like liqueurs, but just perfect. A mouthful of currant.

Of course,...

Pros: nice looking bottle
Cons: taste it... need I say more?

I first tried this stuff when I bought a sample kit of all the Absolut products. It was a box of airline-sized bottles of the various Absolut flavours.

To get the full effect I tried each one straight up, as in, with no mix in it. The first...

Pros: Awesome with Orange Crush
Cons: Awful with anything else

Hmm people don't seem to like this stuff as much as i. Probably because
they don't know what to mix it with. I found that the taste was kind of cough syrupy but overall wasn't to bad. I found the best way to drink this
stuff is to buy a bottle...

Pros: The smell.
Cons: The awful taste.

I love Absolut, especially flavoured Absolut, but this is the worst. The smell is tolerable, even slightly inviting, but the first and second swallows taste like rotting fruit. Perhaps it's the black kurant flavour which I've never had anywhere else before? Thoughts?
