Product Description

42 Below Vodka: New Zealand Wheat Vodka with Aniseed, Licorice, and Pepper

42 Below Vodka is a New Zealand vodka named for the latitude at which it was created—42 degrees below the equator. The brand’s official site emphasizes its New Zealand origin and purity, while specialist technical references identify a wheat base and a four-column distillation process.

Rather than tasting completely neutral, 42 Below shows a subtle grain sweetness with aniseed and licorice character. A peppery finish adds structure, making the vodka suitable for chilled sipping as well as cocktails where a clean but lightly characterful base is useful.

The exact alcohol content can vary by market, so confirm the current bottle label. The spirit works naturally in Martinis, Vodka Sodas, Moscow Mules, Bloody Marys, and citrus highballs.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Clean wheat grain, light sweetness, aniseed, and subtle vanilla.
• Palate: Soft grain, licorice, aniseed, mild sweetness, and a smooth vodka texture.
• Finish: Clean and peppery, with lingering licorice, aniseed, and gentle warmth.

Food Pairings

Pair with smoked salmon, oysters, sushi, salty snacks, fresh citrus, cucumber dishes, or mild cheese. Its peppery finish also complements spicy appetizers and brunch foods.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well chilled, neat, or over ice. Use it in a Martini, Vodka Soda, Moscow Mule, Bloody Mary, or a simple highball with lemon and sparkling water.
