Clear heavy oily body almost more a light oil than a spirit on swirling when the meniscus rolls down slowly with some tears forming leaves behind a constellation of droplets in the glass. Intensely creamy rye, quality such an intensely favorful bouquet it seems more like a barley except it has a slightly fruitier and more peppery character. Rye notes of almost lyrical quality in a gentle but intense expression of a rye spirit. Oily thick mouthfeel that then warms give you an extremely fatty mouth feel rapidly swelling to a cream and highly intense rush of rye and a drying pepper note that slowly blossoms to a delicious lovely long fade on the finish, as the Japanese say about very fine Sake – shiripin (it has a tail).

This is a singular vodka that should be enjoyed in a high quality tasting glass to fully appreciate the nuances, and ideally done in a quiet environment so you can fully appreciate all the nuances this vodka has.
