So to start with I knew going in that this was not going to be a good vodka but I wanted to try it just to see if it is bad and soldiers have said it is. On the nose, it is a typical vodka just ethanol. The body is where the good and the bad show up. It is kind of sweet and a little bit oily but near the end, there is a strong bitterness that shows up and is the only flavor left in my mouth. That is the finish bitterness. In mixed drinks, it does its job and it will get you drunk if you drink enough. This is made for lower enlisted soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines to get drunk with very little money. Drink this at your own discretion.
