Nose - soft grain, lavender, coriander, white pepper, floral soap, mint, lemon lime soda, earthy cocoa, mild to moderate ethanol burn.
Taste - soft grain, lemon lime soda, lavender, rose, powdered sugar, mint, ginger, vanilla, white pepper, moderate alcohol bite, finishing fast with floral, citrus juice, mint, and pepper flavors.
Other than having a slightly soapy quality, the nose is rather pleasant. It’s more like a diluted modern gin than a vodka. The lemon lime, mint, and cocoa notes play nicely together. The palate arrival is largely sweet, with some floral and citrus flavors carrying through the development. The mouthfeel is rather thin and the finish is very fast, especially for how full the flavors are.
Overall this is alright. It doesn’t really drink like a traditional vodka. I’m guessing this is wheat-based due to the soft graininess, but I can’t find an official source that identifies it. I’ll categorize this in the same way as Ciroc, although it’s not a good. It’s an average sipper, but probably not neutral enough to become a house vodka. I think it’s a step below Jim Beam Original, but I wouldn’t be completely disappointed to drink this neat again.

I thought it was pretty solid @Ctrexman . Would need to check the price to decide if the VFM I'd there.
