Absolut Vodka

#1 in the vodka lineup. Practically no nose, neither flavor nor alcohol. I can almost fully inhale deep in the glass with no effect. This makes the flavor nothing short of a magic trick: sweet vanilla custard, almost ice cream hits you immediately. Even a creamy vapor is present in the mouth as you taste it, but then disappears without leaving a trace of hardly anything. Complete stillness throughout. Quite remarkable the way so much flavor is delivered so stealthily. Conclusion: All vodka is fine for whatever purpose; just find a cheap one that doesn't smell like gasoline. This one happens to provide an actual good drinking experience neat though. It is also smooth enough to drink like water, can still mix with anything, and ~$5 cheaper than Jack Daniel's (just think about that for a second). As an added bonus, the distillery is also one the most eco-friendly. This is the only vodka I will ever need (perfect for White Russians!), and certainly the last one I care to go out of my way to try. Character: Vanilla custard and the stillest waters of Shangri-la Smoothness: 5, Overall: 4.25

Quite a good vodka. Chilled, it goes down nicely. It doesn’t have flavour as a good vodka should. For the price, it’s quite good.

Light burn. Neutral taste, light metallic.
