I’m by no means a vodka expert. My ratings are purely based on personal enjoyment. That being said, this is a perfect example of the “absence” of flavor...which makes this particular vodka extremely dangerous. It drinks like water with the faintest waft of vanilla appearing on the nose only. It’s 41% alcohol and I get almost zero heat from it. Crazy! Anyway, I’m sure it’s great in the vodka world...but probably only good for getting REALLY inebriated, REALLY fast in my world.
