Pau Maui Vodka — Hawaiian Pineapple-Base Tropical Spirit
Craft 40% ABV ABV Hali'imaile DistilleryGood but not great
Decent vodka for the price. The nose is clean — I got the Clean and tropical with subtle pineapple that the review mentions — but the palate didn't wow me. The caramel is fine but nothing special, and I'd have preferred more character coming through. That said, the Medium is clean enough. Works well in cocktails where you don't need a premium bottle.
A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The a gentle vanilla sweetness drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, gentle spice are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Medium is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
