alc. 40%
bottle:
same, consistent profile of dillons bottles; bell and stem, apothecary medicinal look. pleasant presentation.
Nose:
Instantly sweet at first nosing. Butter rum lifesavers, hard fruity candies and light bread. sweet and sour. Little to no astringency on the nose.
Palate:
Enters smooth as silk, and slowly builds up to a spicy climax. Quite a burn on the tongue for a long lasting exit. There is, however, very little burn in the throat. Sweet and sour on the tongue, this is far better with ice and a lime slice rather than neat.
Empty glass:
The next day there is no profile in the glass
Score: 82
Please note:
This vodka is crafted from locally grown red wine from the Niagara region. The wine brand is kept a secret to the public, but the winery was storing barrels at the dillons rickhouse for a while. Hint hint.
Overall:
Somewhat disappointing. Has some unpleasant flavours that make my cheek spasm after a sip. There are superior vodkas at this price point.
