8/10

My new favourite vodka

Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh — I also picked up delicate notes that the review mentions. On the palate, Well-balanced sweetness is spot on, and there's a richness that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.

Victor Osei on Waiheke Hibiscus Honey Flavoured Vodka

8/10

Beautifully balanced

One of the most well-crafted vodkas I've tasted. The nose promises quality, and the palate delivers with Well-balanced — flavour and grain in harmony. Nothing feels harsh or out of place. The Medium — flavour lingering pleasantly ties it all together. I tried it neat, chilled, and in a Moscow Mule — it shines in all three. The grain base gives it a distinctive character. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Lena Petrova on Ciroc

8/10

A 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 white flowers — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Silky and refined and the grape character shines through. The Medium-long. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Maison Villevert / Diageo.

Priscilla Nunes on Grey Goose

10/10

Exceptional 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 almond sweetness — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: light citrus with star anise. Grey Goose / Bacardi has clearly mastered their craft.

Mia Sundberg on Belvedere Single Estate Rye: Smogory Forest

8/10

Belvedere Single Estate Rye: Smogory Forest is outstanding

The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got toasted bread and subtle complexity. On the palate, the Salted toffee is beautifully done, and the a savoury mineral edge. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.

Mia Sundberg on Zubrowka Czarna — Charcoal-Filtered Polish Wheat

6/10

Nice but slightly overpriced

Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The Clean grain is the highlight — light vanilla and a whisper of dark chocolate and well-presented. On the palate, the Crisp and clean with a smooth wheat body is fine but not exciting. At £27.25, I'd expect more character. The Medium is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.

Celeste Moreno on Belvedere

9/10

Stunning quality

What a beautifully crafted spirit. The nose gives you subtle bread dough with a faint floral lift and white pepper, and on the palate it's all about rye spice. The mouthfeel is particularly impressive — silky, full, and rewarding. The finish rounds everything off with clove spice. Anyone who says all vodka tastes the same hasn't tried this. The review here nails it.

Blown away by this vodka

Bought this on the strength of the review here and I'm so glad I did. The Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness on the nose are subtle but present, and the palate delivers — satisfying texture with wonderful texture. The finish has Clean and measured — grain fading gently that proves vodka is far from flavourless. Hats off to AeroGrade Vodka — this is exceptional craft. Already on my second bottle.

A real gem

Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The a gentle vanilla sweetness drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, gentle spice are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Medium is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.

10/10

Simply brilliant

I keep coming back to this bottle and appreciating the subtlety. The vanilla on the nose is genuinely there if you take a moment to notice. On the palate, Pure and unadorned is rich and satisfying, with wonderful depth developing. A vodka that rewards attention. At 40% ABV, the proof is perfectly judged.
