Chopin Rye Vodka — Poland's Red-Capped Rye Champion

Elena Morozova — My new favourite vodka

8/10

Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with dried herbs — I also picked up cracked black pepper that the review mentions. On the palate, toasted bread is spot on, and there's a with robust rye spice that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with a satisfying warmth. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.

Haruki Sato — Decent everyday vodka

7/10

A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has with distinctive rye bread — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you a peppery warmth, which is fine but a bit safe. I keep reaching for other bottles when I want to sip neat, but for cocktails it's hard to complain. The finish is clean.

Finn OBrien — Disappointing for the price

4/10

Bit disappointed. The nose is fine — I got some Bold and spicy — but on the palate it's too one-dimensional. At £39.75, I expect more character. The finish drops off quickly. The tasting notes in the review didn't match my experience. Might work better in cocktails than neat.
