Killa Exclusive Liquorice

Killa Exclusive Liquorice delivers the anise-forward, root-sweet flavour of black liquorice candy with reasonable accuracy. The profile is built on the characteristic aniseed note that defines liquorice as a flavour: this is a sweet, slightly herbal, slightly resinous flavour that sits in the same family as anise, star anise and fennel, but with the additional sweetness and depth that distinguishes liquorice candy from raw anise. It is not salty or sharply harsh: it is sweet liquorice, the kind that you would recognise from a piece of black Haribo or a quality liquorice allsort rather than from a salty Scandinavian licorice product.

The aniseed character is immediate from the moment of placement and remains consistent throughout the session. There is no secondary fruit or mint note competing with the liquorice: the profile is clean and focused, which makes it satisfying for users who specifically want this flavour and would find any modification of it unwelcome. The sweetness prevents it from becoming bitter or medicinal, and the overall balance is of a genuine confectionery product rather than an artificial flavouring approximation.

The combination of liquorice flavour and 13.2mg nicotine is interesting: the anise note in liquorice has a natural mildly stimulating quality of its own (anise has traditional associations with digestive and aromatic use), and this combines with the nicotine delivery to create a sensation that feels particularly complete and satisfying for users who enjoy both components. The flavour holds well across the full session without fading or turning flat, which is one of the markers of quality in pouch flavouring.

Nicotine pouches require no device, no liquid and produce no smoke or vapour.

At 13.2mg per pouch (16.5mg/g), Killa Exclusive Liquorice is rated Ultra Strong. This strength is designed for adults with an established nicotine tolerance through regular smoking or high-strength vaping. Beginners and those with a low nicotine tolerance should start with 6 to 9mg options first.

The per-gram figure (16.5mg/g) is the Scandinavian standard for measuring nicotine in pouches. Each Killa Exclusive pouch weighs 0.8g, giving 13.2mg per pouch. Both figures appear on packaging and in product listings because different markets use different measurement conventions. The practical number for most UK users is 13.2mg per pouch.

Compared to mainstream brands, Killa Exclusive at 13.2mg delivers approximately 40% more nicotine than Zyn at 9.4mg and 20% more than Velo at 10.9mg. The liquorice flavour does not reduce or diminish the nicotine delivery: the full 13.2mg per pouch is delivered through the gum lining regardless of flavour choice.

Killa is a Swedish nicotine pouch brand from V2 Tobacco. The Exclusive range offers twelve flavours at 13.2mg per pouch: Blue Raspberry, Cherry Cola, Tropical Punch, Orange, Dark Cherry, Lemonade, Strawberry Watermelon, Blue Mint, Green Mint, Liquorice, Cold Dry and Double Mint. All are slim format, tobacco-free and packaged in 16g cans of 20 pouches.

Liquorice occupies a specific position in the Exclusive range as the most distinctively Scandinavian flavour option. Liquorice has deep cultural roots in Scandinavian food and confectionery traditions, and it is a common flavour in the Scandinavian nicotine pouch market. Including it in the Exclusive range gives users who enjoy this flavour tradition a high-strength option in the format that is otherwise dominated by fruit and mint alternatives.

Liquorice is the most distinctive and unusual flavour in the Killa Exclusive range, alongside Cold Dry. Where the mint options (Blue Mint, Green Mint, Double Mint) and fruit options (Blue Raspberry, Orange, Lemonade, Strawberry Watermelon, Dark Cherry, Tropical Punch, Cherry Cola) represent broadly popular categories, Liquorice appeals to a specific subset of users who actively seek out the aniseed flavour. There is no middle ground with liquorice: users who do not enjoy anise should choose any of the other eleven flavours in the range.

For users who do enjoy liquorice, Killa Exclusive Liquorice is one of the few pouch options in the UK market that delivers the flavour at Ultra Strong strength. Most liquorice-flavoured pouches available in the UK are at lower strength tiers, so Killa Exclusive fills a specific gap for users who want both the flavour and the 13.2mg nicotine delivery in the same can.

In rotation with other Exclusive flavours, Liquorice works as a distinct contrast option rather than a neutral daily workhorse. Users who primarily rotate through fruit or mint options and occasionally want something very different will find Liquorice functions as an interesting change without losing the quality and consistency of the Killa Exclusive format. It is best treated as a speciality option in a rotation rather than an all-day single flavour, unless liquorice is already your preferred confectionery and flavour profile.
