Clear. Roasted-grilled peppers, green tomato and dried herbs. Bold, rich texture. Explosive, peppery flavors add great zest concentration to a full, weighty palate. Very well structured and delineated.

"The tart, bitter black currant bouquet is stunning right from the beginning whiffs; time serves to deepen the black currant concentration to cassis-like. Crisp, tart flavor is razor sharp and clean; at midpalate, there’s an oily quality to the texture that underscores the racy, zesty, black currant flavor. Ends up ripe, fruity. Kurant is the unequivocal prototype for all berry-flavored vodkas." 96-100 pts.

"Fresh, smooth and naturally sweet. The distinctively aromatic cilantro combines with playful notes of ripe, juicy limes, and finishes with a subtle hint of herbaceous spice."

"Sugared orange peel and orange gelatin candy aromas follow through to a supple, satiny, lightly fruity sweet medium-to-full body with a tangy, talc, and powdered sugar and dried orange fade. A nicely balanced and flavorful mixer."

"A decadent tropical blend of vodka infused with flavors of sweet strawberry, cool coconut and fresh pineapple."
