The feistiness still comes through coupled with "honey tones" and is felt immediately on the tongue. There is a "sting" which then wraps around the tongue, providing a medium dry finish which quickly clears, leaving a very clear palate. It's a sipping vodka to be enjoyed simply on the rocks or a martini garnished simply, yet mixes quite well in traditional mixed cocktails. It is produced carefully in very small batches, handmade, hand bottled, hand labeled, and hand packed.
