I'm nearly out of this bottle so I figured I would review it before I finish it off. As I have said before, vodka is not a spirit I reach for often and I probably can't taste all the nuances of each but some I feel are better than others and this one, especially for the value is a pretty great deal. The nose is clean and I only get the faintest whiff of lemon peel. The first taste I do get a hint of rye and a touch of sweetness. It is very light, not oily with a bit of lemon peel coming through near the end. The finish is actually a bit longer than I expected for a vodka and there is very little heat. I would say, for a vodka, it's actually pretty good neat. I'm not going to say put down the scotch and grab this, but I've had a lot worse. The fact that you can get this for under $15 makes it a steal. If you like vodka cocktails or drinking vodka neat, I'm not sure there are many better options. Absolut is probably a bit more interesting and almost the same cost, but this is a close second. If you are up for spending a bit more, Ketel One is a good choice, but I would go for this over Grey Goose any day of the week.
