Makes for the best Sour Apple Martini hands (or rather hooves) down. Brings out out a floral and grassy aroma and taste that compliments apple and lime. This is on high rotation in our house.

I've tried the same with other vodkas - but this is the winner by a mile.
The flavor of coumarin in sweet woodruff flavored German may wine is incredible. Can only imagine the Polish vodka is as well! The U.S. product tastes of vanilla, maybe lavender and perhaps 6-methyl coumarin, a synthetic flavor also used in germany. Not bad in it's own right. Some of my favorites (I've gone through several bottles); Zuzu's Petals, Frisky Bison, Purple Pear Martini. I've only tried Żubrówka.
This was definitely not what I was expecting, but matches the description perfectly. It is a unique vodka and could be easily consumed over the rocks. Not, perhaps, for everyone's taste, but unique on its own.
