Ketel One Vodka

It smells like nothing. The palate is fairly neutral (as opposed to grossly bitter) with a somewhat viscous presence and some nice sweetness. A bit of mineral and some definite alcohol that doesn't overwhelm but does come with some bitterness. There's the faintest hint of fruit. There's some nice richness and a little spice (but not too much). The viscosity is nice. On the whole, I appreciate the richness and sweetness along with the grainy (wheat) presence. The bitterness is a bit disappointing, but it and the alcohol flavor are very minor. This is actually quite similar to Chopin Wheat. This is actually a very good vodka. There's surprising depth of flavor for a vodka and it generally tastes good.

Makes a great classic martini.
