4/10

I wanted to like this more than I did. The nose has Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness but on the palate there's a harshness that I wasn't expecting from the review. The gentle warmth described didn't come through for me. The Clean and measured — grain fading gently 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.

Decent vodka for the price. The nose is clean — I got the Clean — subtle grain character and a hint of sweetness that the review mentions — but the palate didn't wow me. The satisfying texture is fine but nothing special, and I'd have preferred more character coming through. That said, the Clean and measured — grain fading gently is clean enough. Works well in cocktails where you don't need a premium bottle.
