Clean — grain, vanilla, mineral freshness.
Smooth — soft grain, gentle sweetness, rounded mouthfeel.
Clean and medium — vanilla, gentle warmth.
Hensol Castle Distillery operates from a seventeenth-century castle in the Vale of Glamorgan. Their vodka is made from Welsh grain and estate spring water, distilled in copper pot stills at 40%.
The nose is clean — grain, vanilla touch, mineral freshness. The palate is smooth with soft grain, gentle sweetness, and rounded pot still mouthfeel. The finish is clean and medium. A well-made Welsh craft vodka with genuine heritage.
Disappointing for the price
Bit disappointed. The nose is fine — I got some Clean — grain — but on the palate it's too one-dimensional. At £32, I expect more character. The Clean and medium — vanilla drops off quickly. The tasting notes in the review didn't match my experience. Might work better in cocktails than neat.
