There’s a ton of flavored Vodka products on the market these days, and the ones that rise to the top of the heap are able to translate the pure aroma and flavor of the advertised flavor. That’s certainly the case here, where the Mandarin Orange rind aromas are powerful and correct, getting at not only the fruit but the hint of bitter zest that defines the fruit variety. What the nose promises, the palate delivers, with a pleasant peppery note in the finish. I’m thinking this will make a fine riff on a Cosmopolitan, and the Mandarin garnish opportunities could get interesting… A Double Gold award winner and Best Vodka at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
