My new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with honeysuckle — I also picked up delicate notes that the review mentions. On the palate, Exceptionally smooth is spot on, and there's a honey that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with a satisfying warmth. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.
1 December 2025A standout bottle
Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you green apple freshness — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with black pepper and the potato character shines through. The a clean mineral quality. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Chopin Vodka / Siedlce Distillery.
8 January 2026A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The soft grain drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Smooth and subtly sweet with Berkshire honey warmth are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The dry resolution is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
15 April 2026Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The white flowers is the highlight — very clean and well-presented. On the palate, the Fresh grape character with subtle fruit sweetness is fine but not exciting. At $35, I'd expect more character. The Medium-long is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.
11 March 2026Expected more
Not terrible but not worth the premium. The nose promised Clean and slightly sweet with corn and vanilla, but the palate is flat and the clean with gentle corn sweetness disappears too quickly. I've had better vodkas at half the price. The Corn sweetness with vanilla undertones and a clean the review describes wasn't apparent to me. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.
10 March 2026Stunning quality
What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you grain sweetness and lovely character, and on the palate it's all about white pepper. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with clean with a gentle grain warmth. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.

15 January 2026Decent everyday vodka
A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has Arctic freshness — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you gentle grain sweetness, which is fine but a bit safe. I keep reaching for other bottles when I want to sip neat, but for cocktails it's hard to complain. The Medium and remarkably clean with a cool is clean.
16 January 2026Simply brilliant
I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, gentle warmth is rich and satisfying, with satisfying texture developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 40%, the proof is perfectly judged.

7 March 2026Good but not great
Decent vodka for the price. The nose is clean — I got the black pepper that the review mentions — but the palate didn't wow me. The Beautifully crafted single-estate expression is fine but nothing special, and I'd have preferred more character coming through. That said, the pepper is clean enough. Works well in cocktails where you don't need a premium bottle.

19 December 2025Exceptional smoothness
As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: gentle warmth with satisfying texture. O'Donnell Moonshine has clearly mastered their craft.
16 February 2026Better than expected
Mixed feelings. On the nose I got the Soft vanilla — that part is nice. But the underlying wheat character didn't match the promise for me. Mid-palate feels a bit thin. Still, it's better than many bottles at this price and the Medium with a lovely fresh is reasonable. Worth trying at least once, especially in a Martini.

14 April 2026Decent everyday vodka
A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has Fresh and citrusy with clean wheat — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you Exceptionally smooth, which is fine but a bit safe. I keep reaching for other bottles when I want to sip neat, but for cocktails it's hard to complain. The finish is clean.
13 December 2025Solid middle-of-the-road
It's a solid vodka. The nose has Clean and subtle with soft citrus and white pepper, but on the palate the star anise doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The Medium is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
31 January 2026A standout bottle
Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you This smells like terroir — you can sense the soil — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with earthy minerality and the asterix potatoes character shines through. The finish is clean and lingering. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Vestal Vodka.
