Svitlo Vodka of Ukraine — Cherkasy Corn Spirit

Priscilla Nunes — Svitlo Vodka of Ukraine — Cherkasy Corn Spirit is outstanding

10/10

The nose on this is lovely — I immediately got soft mineral notes and a trace of white chocolate and subtle complexity. On the palate, the Creamy and well-balanced with smooth corn sweetness is beautifully done, and the creamy and smooth with lingering corn and a clean. 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.

Annika Svensson — Pleasant enough

7/10

I can see why people rate this but it's not quite my favourite. The Creamy sweetcorn is clean — really approachable — but the palate is a touch too neutral for my preferences. The subtle mineral character and a rounded is smooth and easy, which makes it good for vodka newcomers. I was expecting a bit more character given the editorial score.
