Orkisz Spelt Vodka — Ancient Polish Grain Revived

Maxwell Green — Exceptional smoothness

8/10

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 honey — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: Soft and delicate with spelt sweetness with gentle vanilla. Orkisz Distillery has clearly mastered their craft.

Elena Vasquez — Solid middle-of-the-road

7/10

It's a solid vodka. The nose has Mild and subtle with nutty spelt grain and gentle white pepper, but on the palate the a mild cereal warmth doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The Medium is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
