Excessive Floor Property Vodka Evaluation
It’s a high quality vodka, heavy with character however not overwhelming in any means. Aromatics of toasted grains and sesame arrange a superbly applicable nostril for a vodka that’s constructed from rye, leaning into a delicate notice of white pepper and a little bit of saline that offers the vodka, paradoxically, a little bit of a coastal vibe.
Barely doughy and clearly grainy on the palate, the bread-like high quality continues right here, although it doesn’t evoke the spice of rye as a lot because the nostril does. The reasonably creamy texture supplies a complementary physique, amplifying lingering notes of vanilla custard, nutmeg, and baked apples. A mild banana notice on the end works with the cereal notes up prime, giving the vodka a little bit of a banana bread consistency.
Excessive Floor isn’t a traditional “crisp and clear” vodka however the character it has feels intentional and applicable for the terroir and the producer. Skip it for martini night time however cling onto a bottle for lengthy drinks.
