Blackback Mountain Strength Plain Vodka
Plain 40% ABV Gorilla SpiritsNot for me
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.
Good but not great
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.
