Chopin Family Reserve Vodka — Oak-Rested Potato Luxury

Suki Patel — Not for me

4/10

I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Rich and complex — oak spice but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The vanilla described didn't come through for me. The Very long and evolving — oak 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.

Amira Benali — Good but not great

6/10

Decent vodka for the price. The nose is clean — I got the Rich and complex — oak spice that the review mentions — but the palate didn't wow me. The stone fruit is fine but nothing special, and I'd have preferred more character coming through. That said, the caramel is clean enough. Works well in cocktails where you don't need a premium bottle.
