A most unusual and complex flavored vodka, almost like a cocktail in a bottle, this evolves with every sip. The hue is bright, clear cranberry and the aroma is juicy and berry-like, with an oxidized herb note in the back reminiscent of some amaros. On the palate, it starts out as juicy and fruit-forward, but reveals a confusing cayenne spiciness midpalate, finishing dry and with a fleeting floral delicacy. Kara Newman 

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
