Flavoured 38% ABV ABV Absolut (Pernod Ricard)

Simply brilliant
I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The juicy mango with a natural fruit quality on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, Well-balanced between fruit and spirit is rich and satisfying, with wonderful depth developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 38% ABV, the proof is perfectly judged.

A standout bottle
Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you juicy mango with a natural fruit quality — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Well-balanced between fruit and spirit and the swedish winter wheat character shines through. The dry fade. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Absolut (Pernod Ricard).

Better than expected
Mixed feelings. On the nose I got the Ripe — that part is nice. But the Well-balanced between fruit and spirit didn't match the promise for me. Mid-palate feels a bit thin. Still, it's better than many bottles at this price and the dry fade is reasonable. Worth trying at least once, especially in a Martini.

Not for me
I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Ripe but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The Well-balanced between fruit and spirit described didn't come through for me. The dry fade has a burn where I wanted clean warmth. Others clearly rate it highly so it may be personal preference. Won't be buying another bottle though.

Worth every penny
I was reading the tasting notes in the review and thought they sounded too good to be true for a vodka, but they're accurate. The Genuinely appealing is genuinely there, the Well-balanced between fruit and spirit delivers, and the Medium-length with lingering mango sweetness and a clean is exactly as described. Served this at a tasting with friends last weekend — everyone was surprised how much character it has. We did a blind comparison against two other brands and this won hands down.
