Feigling Vodka
by Kevin R. Kosar

Is it vodka or is it a liqueur?  Feigling Vodka is only 20% alcohol (most spirits are 40%) and is with "natural fig flavoring."  Feigling is being marketed as a sort of collegiate bar and party drink.  

Feigling, which is made in Germany and imported by Meridian Mercantile Company of Vero Beach, Florida, has a big Fig Newton nose.  In the mouth it's milder, but still firm with fig and just a hint of alcohol fume after the swallow.  
 
 

Those who would enjoy something stiffer than beer but who are not ready to step up to 80 proof alcohol- by all means, give it a  shot.
