View All (24)I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Well-balanced sweetness is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.
13 April 2026Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Well-balanced sweetness are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
8 April 2026Not terrible but not worth the premium. The nose promised Bright lemon zest and lime with a fresh and some depth, but the palate is flat and the Clean and citrusy with a refreshing fade disappears too quickly. I've had better vodkas at half the price. The Well-balanced sweetness the review describes wasn't apparent to me. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.
