Sapling Vodka — British Wheat with a Conscience
Wheat 40% ABV ABV Sapling SpiritsExceptional 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 gentle vanilla — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: Extra-smooth with a crisp with gentle cream. Sapling Spirits has clearly mastered their craft.
Disappointing for the price
Bit disappointed. The nose is fine — I got some Clean and crisp with sweet wheat — but on the palate it's too one-dimensional. At £31.50, I expect more character. The Medium and clean with a smooth drops off quickly. The tasting notes in the review didn't match my experience. Might work better in cocktails than neat.
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 fresh is genuinely there, the approachable profile delivers, and the sweet wheat fade and gentle warmth 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.
