Smirnoff Black Label — Premium Pot-Distilled Purity

Ingrid Holm — Smirnoff Black Label — Premium Pot-Distilled Purity is outstanding

9/10

The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got light citrus and a hint of charcoal minerality and subtle vanilla. On the palate, the Smooth and pure with clean grain character is beautifully done, and the clean and smooth with lingering grain and a dry. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.

Natalie Ford — Solid middle-of-the-road

6/10

It's a solid vodka. The nose has Clean grain and some subtlety, but on the palate the gentle sweetness doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The clean and smooth with lingering grain and a dry is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
