Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean and crisp with a gentle wheat sweetness and a faint mineral note. Well-made and surprisingly refined for the novelty packaging.

Palate

Smooth and well-balanced with soft wheat character, gentle sweetness, and a clean, neutral profile. Five distillations have done their work — this is a polished spirit.

Finish

Clean and medium-length with a gentle warming quality.

Expert Review

7/10

Do not let the fire extinguisher packaging fool you — Firestarter is a genuinely well-made vodka. Produced in Moldova from a 19th-century recipe using Eastern European winter wheat and five-times distilled, it delivers impressive smoothness and quality. The packaging is a bonus conversation starter.

I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The nose is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The Smooth and well-balanced with soft wheat character is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.

10/10

Bought this on the strength of the review here and I'm so glad I did. The aromatics on the nose are subtle but present, and the palate delivers — neutral profile with gentle sweetness. The finish has Clean and medium-length with a gentle warming quality that proves vodka is far from flavourless. Hats off to Firestarter Distillery — this is exceptional craft. Already on my second bottle.
