Grey Goose La Poire — French Pear Elegance
Flavoured 40% ABV Grey Goose / BacardiMy new favourite vodka
Third bottle in and it just gets better. The nose opens with white flowers and a trace of almond — I also picked up Ripe Anjou pear that the review mentions. On the palate, Smooth and gently sweet with authentic pear flavour is spot on, and there's a richness that makes this incredibly smooth. The finish closes with a satisfying warmth. This has become my go-to. Makes an incredible Martini too.
Solid middle-of-the-road
It's a solid vodka. The nose has Ripe Anjou pear and white flowers and a trace of almond, but on the palate the Smooth and gently sweet with authentic pear flavour doesn't quite deliver the complexity I was hoping for. The finish is a bit brief. Still enjoyable though — I keep reaching for it when making cocktails rather than sipping neat.
