The Bottle: Taller than a typical bottle, but it has a really nice look and feel to it. The bottle itself is quite hefty in a "Colonel Mustard, in the bar, with the bottle" kind of way and the design on the label is nicely reminiscent of an American Dollar bill.
In the Glass: Vodka transparency with just a hint of light green.
On the Nose: Green Bell Pepper. I can't even tell you that this is alcoholic by the nose alone, which is something in-and-of-itself. This stuff just exudes all sorts of green (and I do mean green) chile notes of all sorts.
Taste: Let's start with the obvious question, "Is it spicy?" And the answer is...No. Not really. This is more about the flavor than the capsaicin. The arrival is a very signature jalapeño flavor that turns a touch sweet and a touch spicy. The finish is on the bell pepper side, which aligns nicely with the nose.
This is also made with serrano and habanero, but I do not have a keen enough palate to really pick those out of the lineup. I'm sure that they are in there, and they contribute to the overall flavor here, I just can pick them out of the crowd.
On-the-whole, I really enjoy this stuff. It takes a really stand-up vodka for me to just pour it as a sipper, and this fires on all cylinders for me. I've used it in a number of cocktails, on the rocks and on its own.
I look forward to reviewing the St. George "All Purpose" vodka to get a sense of what this distillation is like without the added flavor; but I can at least tell you that if you are looking for an outside-the-box clear liquor to give your drinks a new spin, you should look no further.
