Potato 40% ABV ABV Vestal Distillery

A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The with an elegant mineral thread drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Creamy and full are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The with a clean mineral dryness and gentle warmth is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.

Not for me
I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Rich earth and warm potato with a savoury but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The with roasted potato and a gentle nuttiness described didn't come through for me. The with a clean mineral dryness and gentle warmth 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.
