Rutte Vodka — Dutch Wheat Precision
Wheat 40% ABV ABV Rutte DistilleryPleasant enough
I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The Clean and fresh is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Pure and smooth is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.
Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get sweetness and a mineral quality from the Dutch water — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: Pure and smooth with beautiful texture. Rutte Distillery has clearly mastered their craft.
