In the Glass
Appearance
Crystal clear.
Aromatics
The aromatics are quite beautiful offering scents of wild flowers, jasmine tea, vanilla bean, and subtle tropical fruits.
Flavor
The palate echoes the nose while becoming a great deal more animated lifting the beautiful floral mélange to new heights by delivering a lightly sweet essence of the aromatics with a subtle citrus edge on the finish that gives balance and length.
Intensity & Texture
Medium-bodied with semisweet floral notes expanding on the palate while showing perfect balance.
Cool Factor
There a lot of flavored Vodkas out there so when one comes along that adds something new to the mix it piques our interest.
Value Grade
At over $30 there is a great deal of competition but the unique nature of this product give us cause to call it a good value.
Analysis
This is certainly our first peony flower Vodka and the clever and subtle blend of botanicals certainly give this a Gin-like quality sans the juniper. The great aromatics are given lift by a slightly sweet core and the base spirit is well-made acting as the perfect canvas for the unique aromatics and flavors.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled with a bit of fruit or perhaps in a Vodka martini along side an equally aromatic Vermouth.
