We do want to assure people that next week’s review will actually – be something good, and while we do have 2 really bad ones in a row – that’s sort of what happens when you roll the dice on these things. If only there was a – wait no – too meta. Anyway, we get a vodka from Poland that says almost nothing, but what’s inside screams volumes.
A particularly grating scream, like the kind one would find when having to move a deceased relatives fridge from their home towards a dump, but it weighs like a ton so you tie it down with some straps on your truck, but the weight crushes through your truck gate via bad displacement and is now grinding at 50mph down the road.
What they Say: “” (Nothing aside from the website)
Taste: 3.5 – You get just a bit of creamy wheat or grain-like situation, but it’s quickly dashed.
Aftertaste: 2.0 – If there is an aftertaste it’s only discernible via charcoal because the burn hits and that’s all you can focus on.
Burn/Smooth: 1.0 – That burns like it’s physically stripping the flesh outta your throat. Terrible.
Aroma: 1.5 – That smells like a floor cleaner. The strong kind too. The kind that removes stains that have survived other lemon-scented cleaners for years. It is FOUL to smell.
Honesty: 5.0 – Well they don’t say shit, so no points lost, and therefore no points gained either.
Mixability: 4.75
Russian: 6.0 – That is about as basic as you can get with a Russian. It’s actually not bad, but still.
Vodka Tonic: 3.5 – There are certainly worse vodka tonics. Sure this still has some of the bad vodka taste, but not TOO much.
Value: 3.5 – Sure it can be mixed in the right conditions – but let’s face it. This isn’t good, but it can be okay.

Final Thoughts: It nearly feels like madness to continually go back to the well of ‘well’ vodkas expecting that somehow the carbon has become a diamond. Sure sometimes you’ll get something that’s not as bad, but when it’s bad it’s really quite awful.
