ZYN Blackcurrant Ice 13.5mg

A darker berry, with cold

Blackcurrant Ice is the ZYN catalogue’s heavyweight berry pouch. Blackcurrant itself is a denser, more wine-like flavour than blueberry or strawberry — there’s a tart-sweet jammy character and a slightly green herbal undertone. ZYN pairs it with their menthol cool finish, which lifts the heavier fruit notes and prevents the session from feeling syrupy.

If Cool Blueberry is the easy-drinking berry option, Blackcurrant Ice is the older sibling — same general territory, more flavour intensity, more nicotine. Common in European markets (blackcurrant is a much more familiar flavour in the UK and Scandinavia than in North America); the product sees most of its measured search demand from the US looking specifically for the ZYN version.

What 13.5mg feels like

13.5mg is one of ZYN’s unusual mid-step strengths — it sits above the standard 11mg “strong” tier and below the 15mg “extra strong.” For context: a typical cigarette delivers around 1–2mg of nicotine to the bloodstream over a few minutes; a 13.5mg pouch releases its dose gradually across 35 to 50 minutes. Onset is within a minute. The hit is noticeably stronger than 11mg without quite reaching the heavy ceiling of 15mg.

For users who find 11mg comfortable but want a bit more push, 13.5mg is the natural step up. For first-time users, this is too strong — start at 6mg or 11mg first.

Format and ingredients

ZYN Blackcurrant Ice 13.5mg uses ZYN’s slim all-white pouch — about 7mm wide, 0.7g per pouch. The `zyn blackcurrant ice slim` searches refer to this format (slim is ZYN’s standard). Inside: nicotine, plant-based fibres (processed wood and cellulose, not tobacco leaf), blackcurrant and menthol flavouring, sweetener, salt, pH adjusters. Twenty pouches per can. Tobacco-free.

Manufactured by Swedish Match (Philip Morris International). Genuine European-market production.

Blackcurrant Ice vs the rest of the cool-fruit range

If you’re choosing among ZYN’s fruit + cool options:

• Blackcurrant Ice (13.5mg) — dark, jammy berry, heavier cool, extra-strong nicotine.
• Cool Blueberry (11mg) — lighter berry, balanced menthol, strong nicotine.
• Cool Watermelon (11mg) — brighter, lighter fruit, less ice.
• Cool Tropical (11mg) — mixed tropical fruit, lighter cooling.
• Tropical Freeze (15mg) — strongest cool + tropical combo.

If you want the deepest, most-fruit-forward berry experience with serious cooling: Blackcurrant Ice. If you want the easier, more all-day berry pouch: Cool Blueberry.

FAQ

Is blackcurrant the same as black cherry? Different fruits. Blackcurrant is a small dark berry common in Europe — the flavour is denser, more tart, with a slight herbal note. Black cherry is a stone fruit, sweeter and more straightforward. ZYN sells both as separate products (Blackcurrant Ice 13.5mg and Black Cherry 6mg) with very different flavour profiles.

Why 13.5mg specifically? ZYN uses 13.5mg as a mid-step between their 11mg standard strong tier and their 15mg extra-strong tier. It’s mainly seen on European-market products where there’s tradition for the half-step strength. The Canadian-market default is 11mg, but stronger products sometimes use 13.5mg or 14mg+ to fit between the standard tiers.

Is the cooling as heavy as Tropical Freeze 15mg? Slightly lighter. The “Ice” suffix indicates strong cooling but Tropical Freeze sits one tier above in cooling intensity (the “Freeze” naming). Both are notably colder than the “Cool” series (Cool Blueberry, Cool Tropical, Cool Mint). If you specifically want maximum cooling, Tropical Freeze 15mg edges this out; if you want maximum berry-flavour intensity, Blackcurrant Ice wins.

Is this stocked consistently? Blackcurrant Ice 13.5mg is one of our more niche products and stock can fluctuate depending on EU production runs. If you want to lock in inventory, ordering on the 5+ or 10+ can tier discount is the most efficient way to keep it in your rotation.
