The EFFEN Vodka taste profile was developed with support from leading bartenders who pour spirits every night. Bartenders, the true drink experts, served on our panel to improve upon a centuries-old Dutch recipe that is perfect on the palate.

The water used in EFFEN Vodka goes well beyond the standard filtering process. Pure spring water is forced through specifically constructed filters under extremely high pressure. This process ensures that all impurities are removed for the purest water
 

 

Oomoo, meaning "good", was among the first of Thomas Hardys labels and originally launched in the mid 1880's. The wine has now been revived to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Hardys Wines. Following the extraordinary success of the Oomoo Shiraz the Oomoo Grenache/Shiraz/Mouvedre is now available in BC. This wine has an abundance of ripe juicy flavors and soft tannin, a great example of the Oomoo style.
