VAN GOGH RICH DARK CHOCOLATE VODKA

Van Gogh Vodka’s Rich Dark Chocolate Vodka is one of its most decadent and delightful to date displaying an intense chocolate fragrance with hints of coffee, nutmeg and spice.  In the mouth, the complex, dark cocoa taste is beautifully complemented by notes of coffee, chili pepper, caramel, and exotic spice giving this sophisticated dark chocolate vodka layers of complexity and slightly spicy finish that will linger on the tongue.

Van Gogh was the first brand to introduce chocolate vodka to the market in 2002 with the introduction of their best-selling Dutch Chocolate Vodka. By comparison, their newest chocolate-inspired vodka, Rich Dark Chocolate, contains double the amount of cocoa for a more intense taste that chocolate aficionados will appreciate.

VAN GOGH COOL PEACH VODKA

Van Gogh Cool Peach Vodka features the fantastic combination of ripe, juicy peach complemented by a bright hit of mint.  Open a bottle and the fragrance of fresh peach wafts up to the nose mingled with undertones of sweet almond and a touch of mint. Like the nose, the taste is overwhelmingly peach with notes of sweet almond and a welcomed punch from the mint at the very end that leaves a cool and refreshing finish.
