Flavoured 37.5% ABV Kakira Sugar Estate

Beautifully balanced
One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The caramel sweetness and a subtle earthy undertone promises quality, and the palate delivers with Smooth and coffee-forward with espresso bitterness. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The Medium-long with lingering coffee bean ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The sugar cane base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The Rich roasted coffee is the highlight — dark chocolate and well-presented. On the palate, the toffee sweetness and a distinctive sugar cane warmth is fine but not exciting. At £30.75, I'd expect more character. The dark chocolate and a touch of molasses is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.

Simply brilliant
I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The dark chocolate on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, toffee sweetness and a distinctive sugar cane warmth is rich and satisfying, with Genuinely characterful developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 37.5%, the proof is perfectly judged.
