And to you as well Eric!
Not so much bad as just bland and boring. Faint traces of Sherry on the nose some undefined sweet sirupy notes on the palate and a very short and slightly harsh aftertaste.
Enjoyed this bottle more toward the end, but it didn’t knock my socks off. I probably won’t seek another.
Vodka is and will be a niche program for me, although the last few days in Poland showed me that there is still a bit to discover.
An excellent blended one. Unfortunately I didn’t had the chance to sample it alongside Chivas 18 but I guess they would be a good match.
Gave its last in a 'Ti Punch...
ABC store selection. Delicious. A cherry note that I seem to find in all of the Buffalo Trace bottles.

Interesting. If I understand correctly, I'm in agreement. Vodka is not well understood. Yes it's neutral, however each has a unique flavor profile. My goto at home is Luksusowa, a good value, Polish Potato (and in one review I found several years ago, put it 3rd in the world for the potato born variety. I've enjoyed Comb, made in Portchester, NY, is honey based. A tad brash wihout a couple of cubes but a really interesting hit of honey on the lips with the initial sip. I've really wanted to get my hands on a bottle of Putinka (Russian) simply out of curiosity. And, if memory serves as well, Square One produces an organic rye based vodka that was interesting as well. I've not had one in minute, but a well crafted Vesper, is a really lovely cocktail: Bond fans will know. Generally speaking however, I enjoy my drink naked and straight up.
Other than that...I'm a fan of the even more misunderstood distillation: Tequilla. My favorite blanco being Fortaleza and my current go to reposado (my general lean): Siete Leguas (7 Lakes). Side note: Siete Leguas was the original distiller for Patron (not a fan.)
