review: Finlandia Vodka of Cairo

• Category: Vodka
• Alcohol: unknown, presumably about 35%
• Origin: Egypt
• Manufacturer: Salt and Pepper
• Bought at: Liquor store, Cairo, Egypt

I bought this small bottle (250cc) last summer in Egypt. The bottle is very crooked, there are bubbles inside the glass, and the brand name is obviously taken illegally from the well-known Finnish vodka brand. Moreover the content is disgusting and tastes very chemically. Travel guides warn for this stuff because of the risk of methanol poisoning. Fortunately I didn’t turn blind. The only way to drink it is to mix it with a lot of cola. 2/10.
