Nose: When it comes to vodka, Spirit of Hven know what
they are doing! This vodka offers one of the most complex noses I have encountered
yet, with masses of lolly-shop character and floral notes. The lolly-shop character
is not isolated to licorice based sweets, but raspberry and creamy
confectionary weave in and out of tart blackberry and over-ripe gooey mango.
This is sensational vodka, deserving of the utmost praise. As the vodka rests
the mango is joined by mushy yellow banana and thick cream as the clearly
organic ingredients shine in the glass. Beautiful!
Taste: On the palate this vodka is silky smooth and it
glides over the tongue gently releasing pulses of sweet candied plum and
dried apricot sprinkled with aniseed. The alcohol is evident but not harsh as
sharp graininess progressively develops in intensity as it gradually thins
into a soft cloud.
Finish: The beautiful ingredients in this vodka shine on
the palate, as it radiates with a gentle licorice based earthy sweetness that
is not bitter by the slightest degree.
