Tasting - Spud Potato Vodka

I did not pair this vodka with food

Name: Spud Potato Vodka
Variety: Potato Vodka
Region: N/A
Country: Poland
Year: N/A
Price: $24.90

Professional Notes: Spud vodka follows in the great traditions of the 1800. Spud is made in Poland entirely from potatoes. It is distilled 5 times for an unprecedented smoothness, and it has subtle, yet distinctive, vanilla notes. So it should come as no surprise that, in blind tests spud super-premium potato vodka out-performed the ultra-premium brands. And it 100% gluten free.

My Review: Throwing a vodka into the mix! I went to the liquor store and they were handing out free samples. I've never had potato vodka before so I wanted to try it. I'm not a huge fan of unflavored vodka, but I gotta say, this one is noticeably smoother than grain vodka. I've tried Grey Good and Belvedere before, and this one beats them out for smoothness. I also tried one of the ginger flavored ones, and it was alright. If I want to drop $25 on a 750 mL bottle of nice vodka, I'd probably go with this one. I would recommend it.
