GSN’s Remarks: We saved the bottle within the freezer and poured a shot. The colder temperature gave it a heavier viscosity. Little or no nostril, however a wealthy mouthfeel. The flavour has a darker tonality, virtually akin to rye, with a slight bitter edge. No sweetness or sugar charcter right here. The end is brief, with a lightweight pepperiness and a woody sensation in the back of the palate. General, that is clear, and a great vodka to pair with a meal. GSN Ranking: B+
