"Clear.
Faint marshmallow and stone nose. A round entry leads to a very
smooth, oily medium-bodied palate with tasty confectioner's
sugar and talc notes. Finishes very cleany with a
light peppery fade and a hint lemon peel and salt. Very stylish
and perfect for maritnis."-Beverage

"Intriguing
deep garnet/olive black color. A plush entry leads to velvety
medium-bodied palate with
nice wheat dough and mineral notes. Finishes very smoothly with
well-balanced, chewy, elements of grain, confectioner's sugar,
and spice. Far more than a designer/novelty product, this is
very good vodka." -Beverage

Vodka in the World -Spirit Journal 2003 & 2004
Vodka of the Year -Food & Wine Magazine
"Charbay
has raised the bar for all the world's distillers." -Spirit
Journal
"While the best
whiskies and brandies are built from layer upon layer of flavor,
vodka companies tend to focus on filtering flavors out. Charbay,
a tiny producer in California's Napa Valley, takes a different
approach altogether. After quadruple distillation in stainless
steel, Charbay's vodka, at 96 percent alcohol, is almost
impossibly strong and pure, so there are virtually no
imperfections to eliminate. The spirit never runs through the
multiple layers of charcoal that other brands use, so it
effortlessly retains a natural sweetness, a round, luscious body
and a smooth, squeaky-clean flavor." -Food & Wine Best of 2004

"Owns a
peculiar bouquet reminiscent of turkey dressing. Palate entry is
sweet, ripe and grapey, a complete 180-degree turn from the odd
bouquet; midpalate highlights the sweet, fruity ripeness to the
point where it starts to resemble grappa. Finish is delightfully
sweet, polished and elegant." -Wine

Hangar one has a story worth
telling. The distillery was built in an old aircraft hanger, and
only the finest ingredients are used in their hand crafted
infused vodkas - exotic fruits such as kafir limes and mandarin
oranges, never syrups or flavorings.

Points -Wine Enthusiast
Clear as rainwater. The bouquet doesn’t reach up and grab
you as much as it seduces you with gentle waves of mild
spirit and grainy richness. The palate entry offers mild
spiciness and cereal sweetness. Finishes marvelously long,
doughy, round, subtly citrusy and moderately sweet.
Classy, complex
and multilayered." -Wine Enthusiast

"The aroma is bittersweet, concentrated, oily/fatty and
kernel-like followed by a totally dry, clean fragrance of dry
cereal. Palate entry is rich and grainy sweet; at midpalate, the
taste is enhanced by an oily, viscous texture. Flavor intensity
fades in the finish. A superb unflavored vodka that's going to
turn lots of heads." -Wine Enthusiast |

Luksusowa Potato Vodka
Origin: Poland
Distilled from: Potatoes
97 Points -Vodka Tasting at
Cocktail.com
Luksusova, the
Polish word for "luxury, has a superior taste that is a result
of its potato-base. Most domestic vodkas are distilled from
corn, most imported vodkas from rye. But Luksusova is
painstakingly made from Poland's select potato crop grown
exclusively in the Baltic coast region of North Poland.
