St. George California Citrus Vodka

Strong natural orange flavor.

St. George gives some love to a different expression. I love this one. Regular spot on the shelf.

The Bottle: Classy, solid and simple. In the Glass: Transparent, but with a good viscosity. On the Nose: Simple and orange, right from the start. There's a blend of varietals in the mix, so it's hard to pick them out individually; but they all play nicely together. Taste: This is almost like an orange eau de vie instead of a vodka (you could almost use this as a replacement for Cointreau in a cocktail). Sweet orange on the arrival which develops nicely through the finish. The mix of different oranges in here means that it's not just single-note, but I do think that the Bergamont and Seville notes come through strongest. Simple, clean and elegant. There's no harshness, bitterness or overly alcoholic nip. Full marks. I'd love to see what St. George could do with a Lemon or a Myrtle-Leaf Orange take on this...

vodka with citrus notes.

Not as good as I thought it would be?
