Flavoured 40% ABV iStil38istil 38 Pot Still Pink Berries Flavoured Vodka is outstanding
The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got clean aromatics and subtle complexity. On the palate, the neither too sweet nor too subtle is beautifully done, and the Medium — flavour lingering pleasantly. I agree with the editorial review — this is a seriously impressive vodka. Tried it neat at room temperature first, then chilled from the freezer. Both excellent, but neat at room temp shows off the character better.
Nice but slightly overpriced
Good quality spirit but slightly overpriced for what it is. The nose is the highlight — very clean and well-presented. On the palate, the neither too sweet nor too subtle is fine but not exciting. At £32.5, I'd expect more character. The Medium — flavour lingering pleasantly is pleasant but brief. A reliable mixer.
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 wonderful purity — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: neither too sweet nor too subtle with beautiful texture. iStil38 has clearly mastered their craft.
