Pleasant enough
I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Well-balanced sweetness is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.

A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Well-balanced sweetness are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.

Expected more
Not terrible but not worth the premium. The nose promised Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh and some depth, but the palate is flat and the Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade disappears too quickly. I've had better vodkas at half the price. The Well-balanced sweetness the review describes wasn't apparent to me. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.

Not for me
I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The Well-balanced sweetness described didn't come through for me. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade has a burn where I wanted clean warmth. Others clearly rate it highly so it may be personal preference. Won't be buying another bottle though.

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 natural citrus character and clean base — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Well-balanced sweetness and the wheat character shines through. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from The Absolut Company / Pernod Ricard.

Solid middle-of-the-road
It's a solid vodka. The nose has Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh and some subtlety, but on the palate the Well-balanced sweetness doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.

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 natural citrus character and clean base — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: Well-balanced sweetness with beautiful texture. The Absolut Company / Pernod Ricard has clearly mastered their craft.

Blown away by this vodka
Bought this on the strength of the review here and I'm so glad I did. The Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh on the nose are subtle but present, and the palate delivers — Well-balanced sweetness with wonderful texture. The finish has Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade that proves vodka is far from flavourless. Hats off to The Absolut Company / Pernod Ricard — this is exceptional craft. Already on my second bottle.

Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh is the highlight — natural citrus character and clean base and well-presented. On the palate, the Well-balanced sweetness is fine but not exciting. At $22, I'd expect more character. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.

Decent everyday vodka
A reliable pour that won't blow your mind but does the job. The nose has Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh — the review is accurate there. The palate gives you Well-balanced 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 Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade is clean.

Good but not great
Decent vodka for the price. The nose is clean — I got the Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh that the review mentions — but the palate didn't wow me. The Well-balanced sweetness is fine but nothing special, and I'd have preferred more character coming through. That said, the Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade is clean enough. Works well in cocktails where you don't need a premium bottle.

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.

Disappointing for the price
Bit disappointed. The nose is fine — I got some Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh — but on the palate it's too one-dimensional. At $22, I expect more character. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade drops off quickly. The tasting notes in the review didn't match my experience. Might work better in cocktails than neat.
