Elit Vodka by Stoli Jeroboam — Three Litres of Freeze-Filtered Excellence

Carlos Mendez — Beautifully balanced

9/10

One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The The faintest whisper of sweet cream and white pepper promises quality, and the palate delivers with with an almost liquid-silk texture. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The warming ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The russian wheat & rye base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.

James Okafor — Pleasant enough

7/10

I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The with an almost ethereal quality is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Delicate cream is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.
