Finlandia Vodka

Usually being a Whisky guy i picked this up on behalf of a recommendation searching for a good, low-mid budget vodka that you could drink neat, without ice or maybe as a moscow mule. And i was not disappointed, on the nose the alcohol is almost non present, on the tongue he presents himself rather soft, with notes of sweet and slightly malty barley, the finnish has a tiny bit of bite that almost instantly vanishes to make room for that typicall warmth in your mouth and throat. Definitely a great bottle for a bonfire in winter, icefishing or most all smaller parties.

This is a very solid Vodka and it is a steal at $18 in my area. I bought this to fill out my bar along with Smirnoff and I have loved both of these. Finlandia is very smooth and can be sipped neat. However, I would chill the bottle first as the Vodka warm is rough to sip. This liquid mixes very well with everything I have thrown at it. Things like coke, OJ, and I have used it in making Vesper Martini's and it is great. Now I do have to state that it is Vodka and has no real taste of it's own and that has to be taken into consideration as well. I think this is a very good Vodka at a great price and I will try to keep this in my bar. Enjoy.
