Pleasant enough
I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The white pepper is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Gloriously smooth with rye spice is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.

My new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with subtle rye bread — I also picked up crystalline purity that the review mentions. On the palate, creamy vanilla is spot on, and there's a a velvety texture of extraordinary refinement that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with Long and warming with lingering white pepper. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.

Beautifully balanced
One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The a clean promises quality, and the palate delivers with creamy vanilla. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The gentle clove ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The rye base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.

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 a clean is genuinely there, the creamy vanilla delivers, and the Long and warming with lingering white pepper 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.

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 a clean — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with a velvety texture of extraordinary refinement and the rye character shines through. The an immaculate clean fade. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Polmos Zyrardow / LVMH.

A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The subtle rye bread drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, a velvety texture of extraordinary refinement are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The gentle clove is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
