Despite being a wheat vodka this has one of the most peculiar smells of any vodka I've ever reviewed. It straight up smells like fresh, almost pine-y mineral water. I almost feel like if I got lost in the woods of the Pacific Coast and found a flask on the ground it would have this smell. It's quite nice actually!
It tastes like a splendid mix of mineral water, nice, mild wheat sweetness and just a hint of of pine needles. As far as vodkas go this is actually extremely neutral with all the aforementioned flavors and scents being more like background decorations for you to pick out than any specific, defining characteristics. But I love the neutrality because it makes all of the subtleties feel natural and paradoxically give this vodka quite a woodsy, outdoorsy character. I wouldn't mind taking this out on a hike whatsoever!
Texture wise it's a nice balance between oily and watery with the consistency you'd expect of a light wheat vodka. The alcohol burn is kept to a minimum making this an easy vodka to sip neat but it's more pine and mineral qualities just beg for it to be put in tonic water or quality mineral water. An absolute delight, I strongly recommend getting your hands on this Pacific Vodka.
