Another vodka offering that seems limited to Total Wine stores, Two Founders 80 Acres isn't afraid to proudly display it's a corn vodka, with two corn cobs adorning the sides of the bottle. If you're a vodka drinker, you know what corn vodka means: lots of sweetness followed by a bitter end and 80 Acres vodka is no different. The nose is extremely straightforward and very neutral even for a vodka. There's the usual smell of alcohol but it has this faint chemical veneer. Weirdly it's not unpleasant but it is noticeable. The other aroma is of creamed corn. Both of these smells are present in a 1:1 ratio but are quite muted. The palate follows the nose. Creamed corn greets the front palate and lingers up to the mid palate providing a nice, almost cream-like sweetness to the vodka. From the mid palate on though you get this faint chemical taste. I can't explain why it doesn't feel as off-putting as it may sound. To be sure it isn't pleasant but it didn't ruin the experience for me. The finish is the expected bitterness inherent of corn vodkas intermingled with the faint chemical taste of the midpalate. It lingers a bit longer than usual, lasting for about 40 seconds before tapering off but it's not all bad news. As the faint chemical taste recedes, a nice sweet corn begins to emerge making the finish feel decent if underwhelming. There's a medium, fairly harsh burn to it as well that makes this one of the less smooth bottom shelf options on the market. Texture wise this stuff feels exactly like water. Matter of fact, from it's nearly neutral aromas to water-like texture and bitter finish, this reminds me a lot of a rough Smirnoff imitation. Like Smirnoff this is one of the most neutral vodkas on the market and it's cheaper too. If you're willing to put up with just a bit more harshness and neutral vodkas as your favorite, this may well be a decent budget option.
