Nose: Sweet grainy aroma, a faint vanilla note, ethanol.
Palate: Sweet initially, then it builds a peppery warmth that lingers on the palate.
Finish: Medium. Warm and slightly sweet.
Neutral overall with a touch of sweet grain. I very seldom drink vodka but if I'm in the mood for something plain and neutral this works fine and is quite affordable, but if you're looking for a vodka with real character (I assume there is such a thing) then it probably won't please.
It's a good mixing vodka (it makes a reasonable vodka martini), and fine as the base for creating lower proof homemade liqueurs, which are the only two reasons I buy it.

@WhiskyWitch I know just what you mean. I've nothing against vodka as such, but when you've developed a taste for more highly flavoured spirits like whisky it's hard to get excited about neutral grain distillate. Back in the day when I did drink vodka the choices were limited to Absolut, Finlandia, Stoli, Smirnoff and a few others. Of all those I kind of settled on Absolut as the best all-rounder, and I've not looked further afield since.
My favorite vodka so far. It tastes like both vanilla and nothing at the same time. Not sure how many more I'll bother tasting, when the price of this one is so perfect vs. quality.
