"Clear. Spicy aromas of star anise, cream, minerals and powdered sugar follow through to a round, silky entry and a smooth off-dry medium-to-full body with a long, lingering whipped cream, spice, rye dough, and sweet citrus fade with virtually no heat. Great subtle, pure, and spicy rye flavors with a lively texture and superb smoothness. An incredible value in a world of high priced vodkas."

"Beautiful, rich amber color. Somewhat shy aromas of baked pear, caramel, and spice. A soft, delicate entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body of dried fruits, mocha fudge, and dusty spice. Finishes with a star anise, caramel, and peppercorn fade."

A new vodka from the Lonestar State, truly hand-crafted in a single pot still. Double Gold at the World Spirits Competition, whose elite panel of judges included our nationally recognized Spirits Specialist Joe Congiusti.

"Fresh flavours of peach, rockmelon and a hint of vanilla, this soft, juicy white is a perfect medium weighted wine for anytime drinking."

"Old gold color. Grilled lime, floral talc, coconut custard, and toffee aromas are inviting. A soft, silky entry leads to a dryish medium-to-full body of creamy vanilla, toffeed roasted nuts, gingerbread, and dried pineapples. Finishes with a tangy dried topical citrus, white chocolate, and vibrant peppery spice fade. Well balanced and flavorful."

"Cassis, black forest fruits, eucalypt and hints of violets. The ultimate Cabernet fruit profile with concentrated mixed berries, mulberry, green herbs and a hint of pepper. A backdrop of oak supports the wine. Serve with pepper crusted scotch fillet, roast vegetables or slow cooked lamb shanks."

"ABSOLUT VODKA is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike other vodkas, it doesn’t contain any added sugar. In fact ABSOLUT is as pure as vodka can be. Still, that purity has a certain taste: Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit."

"The initial aroma is sweetish, winey and oaky; aeration allows the aroma to expand to include marzipan, treacle, molasses, honey, vanilla bean, cinnamon and cocoa butter. The palate entry is sweet, creamy and assertive; at midpalate the flavor becomes intensely nutty, buttery and bacon fat-like, with the beginnings of rancio. Remains one of Speyside’s standard-bearer 12 year olds." 90-95 pts.

"The flavor is dry, very oily, and well-endowed at palate entry; the midpalate adds tastes of black pepper, tar and dried herbs, and the aftertaste features a unique oiliness that is irresistible. This is one of the most singular tequila bouquets of the last ten years, and is the most exciting silver to be released in the last three years."

"Golden color. Buttery oak and caramel aromas. Round and soft entry. Dry light to-medium body with lean oak, taffy, and spice notes. Finishes with a dried fruit and oaky spice fade with a nice touch of heat."
