Nose - soft grain, fresh bread, vanilla, black pepper, marshmallow, dry herbal and citrus notes, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - soft grain, wheat thin, orange and lemon zest, black pepper, sweet floral and dry herbal notes, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with soft grain, wheat thin, black pepper flavors. The nose is very neutral, but I’m finding some nice marshmallow and bread notes to add some intrigue. Otherwise, it has the standard attributes of a quality wheat based vodka. The palate is a bit floral, citric, and peppery, but a slight hint of wheat thins can be identified as well. Overall, this is a very well executed neutral vodka. I think it’s a step below Absolut Elyx, and probably closer to the Stoli and Ketel One range for me. Unfortunately, it’s also $12 a bottle more than Stoli, so it loses pretty significantly on the value factor. And this is about on par with Jim Beam Original for me.
