Kastra Elion is a “premium sipping vodka” constituted of Greek olives (“and grains”). Whereas produced in Greece, it’s bottled in El Segundo, California. The white ceramic bottle, accented with blue paint, makes for an ideal different to the same old etched/frosted glass you’ll discover available on the market — as does the flavour.
As vodka goes, Kastra Elion has a lot to suggest it. Very clear on the nostril, a lightweight medicinal notice is paired with a sprinkle of sugar and a delicate grassiness. The sweetness within the spirit is extra clearly evident on the palate, the place a clearer component of vanilla-scented white sugar comes into focus. That very mild grassy high quality — maybe pushed by the olives within the distillate — isn’t overwhelming, but it surely’s current. There’s not sufficient right here to allow you to get away with changing the olive in your martini, however the underlying spirit is so contemporary and brilliant and creamy in texture that it doesn’t actually matter.
A extra innocent and innocuous vodka you’re unlikely to seek out available on the market — although the value tag definitely doesn’t pull punches in the identical means.
