Ciroc Coconut 375ML

Description

Ciroc Coconut 375ML is a coconut-flavored vodka distilled five times from French grapes, bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in a 375ml format. Unlike most flavored vodkas built on a grain-neutral base, this expression starts with Ugni Blanc grapes from France’s Gaillac region the same grape-based foundation that earned the Croc range recognition as one of the world’s best-selling vodkas at the 2020 Drinks International awards.

Quick Facts: ABV: 35% | Origin: Gaillac, France | Style: Flavored Vodka | Distillery: Distillerie de Chevanceaux

Production & Heritage

Croc is produced at the Distillerie de Chevanceaux in France using Ugni Blanc grapes sourced from the Gaillac region. The spirit undergoes four distillations through column stills before a fifth and final distillation in a traditional copper pot still a step that imparts a smoother, rounder character than typical continuous-distilled vodkas. The Coconut expression is then infused with natural coconut flavoring, resulting in a tropical profile that retains the clean, slightly creamy texture characteristic of the grape-based distillate.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh coconut leads immediately, followed by a subtle vanilla edge and a faint whisper of pineapple. The nose is clean and inviting without any harsh ethanol bite.

Taste: The entry is distinctly creamy coconut sweet but not cloying with a light tropical fruit undercurrent developing at mid-palate. As the spirit opens up, the grape-based foundation provides a smoother, more rounded mouthfeel than grain-based coconut vodkas typically deliver.

Finish: Silky and smooth with a medium body that lingers gently. The coconut sweetness fades gracefully, leaving a clean, slightly warm close.

How to Drink Croc Coconut

• Coconut Martini: Shaken cold with a splash of pineapple juice, the grape-distilled smoothness creates an elegant, silky texture.
• Tropical Mule: Paired with ginger beer and fresh lime, the coconut flavor adds a warm counterpoint to the ginger’s spice.
