"Clear. Neutral wet stone and cream aromas. A buoyant entry leads to a round, dryish medium-to-full body of smooth cream, wheat dough, and delicate spice flavors. Finishes with a warming, peppery and sweet cream fade. A nice Russian vodka with a smooth classy edge."

"Very neutral aromas of river rocks, faint anise, and custard. A silky, effortless entry leads to a glycerous, dryish medium-to-full body of sweet cream, powdered sugar, talc, and tarragon, and honeyed lemon verbena flavors. Finishes with long, smooth wet stone and lemon custard-like fade. Superb texture, smoothness, and clean pure flavors."

"Not much happens in the initial minutes of nosing; more air contact helps in releasing supplementary aromas of black pepper and cardamom. Palate entry taste shows minor league cereal grain spice (rye) and a welcome flash of spirity warmth; at midpalate, this vodka displays some grip and character in the forms of oily texture and the piquant, spicy graininess. Aftertaste hangs its hat on the spicy, rye-grain flavor that dominates at the tail end." 85-89 pts.
