Thunder Toffee Vodka Liqueur — The Après-Ski Essential

Henrik Larsen — Solid middle-of-the-road

7/10

It's a solid vodka. The nose has clean character and some subtlety, but on the palate the buttery caramel doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The Short and sweet with lingering caramel and vanilla is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.

Kenji Watanabe — Expected more

5/10

Not terrible but not worth the premium. The nose promised interesting things and some depth, but the palate is flat and the Short and sweet with lingering caramel and vanilla disappears too quickly. I've had better vodkas at half the price. The buttery caramel the review describes wasn't apparent to me. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.

Carlos Mendez — Nice but slightly overpriced

6/10

Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The nose is the highlight — very clean and well-presented. On the palate, the buttery caramel is fine but not exciting. At £23.75, I'd expect more character. The Short and sweet with lingering caramel and vanilla is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.
