  Koskenkorva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Koskenkorva Viina (also known simply as Koskenkorva, or Kossu) is the most common clear spirit drink (38%) in Finland, produced by the state-owned alcohol company Altia.
Besides the standard 38% near-unflavored there are several variants of Koskenkorva on the market, most notably the infamous Salmiakki Koskenkorva, better known as Salmiakkikossu or Salmari.
Koskenkorva is a small village - that belongs to municipality of Ilmajoki - in Finland that translates as "rapid's ear", or as "area near the rapids", but this latter (and, likely, more correct) version is only understood by people who know the dialect of the area.

Salmiakki Koskenkorva is one of the craziest drinks in the world, and in Finland its consumption is arguably a national pastime.
A derivative of Koskenkorva Viina, a popular Finnish vodka, the booze is made by dissolving a pungent salted fl licorice (salmiakki) into the vodka.
Koskenkorva is actually a small town in Finland that translates as "dead water in the rapids," and the label on the back of the bottle is intentionally upside down, so you can read it while you drink.

Finland has no national drink, but if one were chosen, a strong candidate would be Koskenkorva Viina, usually called simply "Kossu." Sometimes this "power drink" is even drunk straight from the bottle.
Both are made of corn as vodkas usually are, but the distilling and diluting methods are different, so Finlandia Vodka tastes dryer.
One of Koskenkorva's derivatives is Salmiakki Koskenkorva, or "Salmiakki Kossu" or "Salmari" made by dissolving strong salted licorice into the clear liquor, pleasantly disguising the raw alcohol flavor.
