View All (2)I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The with soft vanilla is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Well-balanced and easy-drinking is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.
7 April 2026One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The gentle citrus and a hint of morning dew promises quality, and the palate delivers with Well-balanced and easy-drinking. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The Clean and smooth ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The wheat base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.
