Opinions vary about beetroot, a beet from the Amaranthaceae family: people either love it or hate it. Even aficionados have to admit its earthy and slightly musty smell is special. This is due to geosmin, a bicyclic alcohol, which does not actually come from the beetroot itself, but from certain soil bacteria that are transferred to the beet when it is peeled. However, people who are not fans of beetroot may like the smell of geosmin because it is the reason for the pleasant odour in the atmosphere when it starts raining after a long period of dryness. The human sense of smell is particularly sensitive to geosmin: We can “sniff” a single geosmin molecule among 10 billion air molecules. So, it’s hardly surprising that our spirit made from the beetroot variety Robuschka releases this key aroma. Robuschka has a fruity-sweet taste and was processed organically by us. The resulting spirit embodies the typical aromas of the variety and will assert itself anywhere where the literally down-to-earth beetroot taste is required.
