"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."

"Neutral aromas with hints of sweet cream, potato bread dough, and herbal honey follow through on a very smooth and supple entry to a dryish, buoyant medium body with a delicately sweet custard pastry note. Finishes with a long, sweet cream and wet stone fade. A fantastically balanced and pure vodka for all occasions and applications."

"Early nosings pick up intense, grain-like aromas; aeration bolsters the concentrated, dry graininess but adds pungent supplemental scents of burning rubber, charcoal, baked beans and cigarette ash. Palate entry is sweet, grainy and a bit muted; midpalate is semisweet, oily and concentrated. Finish is long, sweet and grainy." 85-89 pts.
