Hensol Castle Orange Vodka

Grace Kim — A real gem

8/10

Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The citrus drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, Smooth — orange are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The Short and citric is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.

Jake Morrison — Hensol Castle Orange Vodka is outstanding

8/10

The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got citrus and subtle complexity. On the palate, the Smooth — orange is beautifully done, and the Short and citric. 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.

9/10

I was reading the tasting notes in the review and thought they sounded too good to be true for a vodka, but they're accurate. The clean grain is genuinely there, the zest delivers, and the Short and citric is exactly as described. Served this at a tasting with friends last weekend — everyone was surprised how much character it has. We did a blind comparison against two other brands and this won hands down.
