A solid, grainy vodka bouquet that includes scents of dry breakfast cereal, parchment along with dry odors of shale, minerals, cardboard and beans; The palate entry introduces a sweeter reflection of the grain-fiber-paper character; the midpalate adds bittersweet flavors of cocoa, coffee bean, sugar and sap. Concludes with a note of spirity warmth. Best Buy.

Clear. Interesting soft aromas of roasted nut brittle and coffee ice milk with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a zesty, peppery spice, mineral and creme Anglaise accented finish. An expressive vodka for cream based cocktails; a perfect choice for White and Black Russians.
