Review and Tasting

Sampled on 16/06/2016

Appearance:

(sample 2016 batch No. 2001, bottle No. 149) Clear, pale straw yellow.

Aroma:

Vanilla, dairy cream, almond milk and black pepper spiced oak.

Taste:

Creamy mouthfeel with rich cream-of-soda vanilla offsetting dry, black pepper spiced oak with pine bitterness.

Aftertaste:

Long pine finish with light bitter toasted oak tannins.

Overall:

Exuberant youthful oak contributes dry black pepper spiced oak, pine bitterness and luscious vanilla to this creamy potato vodka. Fabulous packaging.
