Rating: 16/23 This is drier than Ocean, but still clean with a nice graininess. I probably like this a hair better and it definitely beats out Belvedere and the famous Kirkland French vodka as well. It's difficult to compare with Esme since that is so floral, but Esme is also a fair bit harsher and less versatile, so I'd take this. This is top-tier vodka for sure.
