Tasting notes:
|
Nose: The waft of alcohol meets the nose with some dark
berry and cherry stones. This is very light without any overpowering
character, and instead the creamy alcohol and cutting graininess shines
though.
Taste: This is seriously smooth vodka, and that would be
expected as it has been distilled six times. This would be a suburb mixing
vodka, because it has the presence of alcohol without noticeable harshness or
a dominant flavour profile that would dominate the other ingredients in, say,
a cocktail. This is certainly uninteresting served neat, but I think if in a
cocktail or mixed it would be brilliant and do a great job.
Finish: This vodka almost dances on the tongue and then
disappears, as though I am sipping smoke (totally expected in a Bulgarian
vodka… you’d understand if you have been to Bulgaria). Beautiful finish, with
notes of sour grape in the end.
