Stunning quality
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you a bright citrus clarity over clean wheat and Fresh lemon zest, and on the palate it's all about Crisp and elegant with lemon zest. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with Medium with lingering lemon brightness and a clean. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.
7 April 2026Stolichnaya (Stoli) is outstanding
The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got a faint mineral quality with citrus zest and soft bread. On the palate, the Medium-bodied with a balanced sweetness is beautifully done, and the Clean and smooth with a short peppery fade. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.
5 April 2026Beautifully balanced
One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The vanilla promises quality, and the palate delivers with Pure and unadorned. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The Short to medium ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The corn base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.
5 February 2026A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The green apple freshness drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Rich potato character with vanilla are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Long and creamy with lingering earth is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
17 March 2026Ketel One is outstanding
The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got white pepper and Fresh and citrusy with clean wheat. On the palate, the soft wheat sweetness is beautifully done, and the finish is clean and satisfying. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.
19 February 2026Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get faint citrus peel — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: soft cereal notes with Well-mannered and approachable. Latvijas Balzams has clearly mastered their craft.
17 February 2026Simply brilliant
I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The familiar grain beneath on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, with wheat smoothness is rich and satisfying, with Bold raspberry — sweet but balanced by natural tartness developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 38%, the proof is perfectly judged.
1 February 2026Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: gentle warmth with satisfying texture. O'Donnell Moonshine has clearly mastered their craft.
16 February 2026Decent everyday vodka
A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has honeysuckle — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you Exceptionally smooth, which is fine but a bit safe. I keep reaching for other bottles when I want to sip neat, but for cocktails it's hard to complain. The finish is clean.
14 November 2025Better than expected
Mixed feelings. On the nose I got the Clean — wheat — that part is nice. But the soft didn't match the promise for me. Mid-palate feels a bit thin. Still, it's better than many bottles at this price and the Short is reasonable. Worth trying at least once, especially in a Martini.
10 December 2025Pleasant enough
I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The Clean and subtle with soft citrus is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The light citrus is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.
11 February 2026Solid middle-of-the-road
It's a solid vodka. The nose has Rich and earthy with cream and vanilla, but on the palate the Silky mouthfeel doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The a clean mineral quality is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
22 November 2025Stunning quality
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness and lovely character, and on the palate it's all about satisfying texture. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with Clean and measured — grain fading gently. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.
11 November 2025Stunning quality
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you almond sweetness and lovely character, and on the palate it's all about light citrus. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with Medium. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.
8 February 2026Worth every penny
I was reading the tasting notes in the review and thought they sounded too good to be true for a vodka, but they're accurate. The red fruit sweetness over clean wheat is genuinely there, the tartness delivers, and the Medium with lingering raspberry and a fresh is exactly as described. Served this at a tasting with friends last weekend — everyone was surprised how much character it has. We did a blind comparison against two other brands and this won hands down.
28 February 2026Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get a faint mineral quality with citrus zest — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: gentle spice with citrus. Stoli Group has clearly mastered their craft.
24 February 2026Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The Clean grain is the highlight — very clean and well-presented. On the palate, the citrus is fine but not exciting. At $20, I'd expect more character. The Clean and smooth with a short peppery fade is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.

30 December 2025Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The nose is the highlight — very clean and well-presented. On the palate, the Well-balanced — flavour and grain in harmony is fine but not exciting. At £35.5, I'd expect more character. The Medium — flavour lingering pleasantly is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.
