Blavod
Type:
Description:
Proprietary vodka mainly noted for its black color, imparted by the addition of black catechu, an acacia variety (also known as "cutch") which is a tree resin found in Asia and Africa, historically used in patent medicines and for tanning leather. It is, as a colorant, natural, stable, non-toxic, and in the quantities necessary for coloring, flavorless. In larger quantities, it imparts a slight burnt charcoal flavor. This vodka, color apart, is much like any other in terms of flavor and mixability.
