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.

"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."

"Cream, toasted hazelnut, and wispy anise aromas. A soft, gentle entry leads to a very smooth and supple dryish light-to-medium body of anise cookie, fig, and wet mineral flavors. Finishes with a breezy sweet spice, dried fruit, cream and granola like fade. Tasty. Best Buy."

"Medium-bodied. Anise, citrus peel, herbs, minerals. Soft, rounded texture. Plush palate with a delicate edge. Shows off rich fruit elements surrounded by beautiful aromatics. A sensational, elegant drink."

"Soft (Grappa-like) aromas of pumice, flowers and white pepper. Rich, plush texture. Lovely palate of smooth rich floral toned citrus and stony nuances. Very seductive, elegant style, with great balance. A class act."

"Creamy powdered sugar and talc aromas. Supple and delicate on the palate with a lightly glycerous texture and dusty minerality with hints of sweet anise and citrus. Finishes soft and clean."

"The grain takes a backseat in the early sniffing stages as bittersweet bean- and kernel-like scents dominate; later whiffs merely confirm the intense bean/cocoa quality. Palate entry mirrors the bouquet to a tee; at midpalate, the kernel-like intensity turns smooth and viscous on the tongue. Ends bittersweet and oily." 85-89 pts.

Celebrate 50 years of The Rolling Stones with this limited edition set. Featuring a 750mL bottle of Crystal Head Vodka with a specially etched stopper showing a 3D Rolling Stones tongue, a double CD featuring live cuts hand selected by Mick for this exclusive release, plus a 50th Anniversary Rolling Stones bottle sticker.

"Initial nosing passes reveal a zesty and mildly spicy aroma that’s focused on the cereal grain; the bouquet registers on the leaner, drier side of neutral grain spirits and as such is in direct opposition to other creamier, sweeter Dutch vodkas. Palate entry is moderately sweet, almost smoky; at midpalate, a flash of black licorice tempts the taste buds, then recedes, allowing the sweet, nearly smoky/pipe tobacco leaf taste to dominate." 90-95 pts.
