Glacier Potato Vodka is column-distilled in Rigby, Idaho. Not a zero personality vodka. This has mineral character from the local geology.

The taste is rather clean, with a definite sweetness and mild warmth. It feels fairly smooth and silky, and is rather light bodied. Other flavor notes include walnut, earth, a touch of sour and pepper, and even traces of mint.

The taste of Cinco Five Star Vodka is initially sweet, with vanilla, wheat, with a bit of a peppery bite. Somewhat chalky, with minerals and salts on the palate.

Liquid Vodka tastes of grain, walnut, filberts. It’s bittersweet and likely rounded, with a moderately heavy body. There’s no real burn or warmth on the taste — that’s saved for the nose and finish.

Shakers American Rye Vodka

The taste is nutty, grainy, with some bitter/mineral taste I can’t quite pinpoint. This is so grainy it’s reminiscent of a white dog. It feels chewy on the palate, and a little yeasty.
Shakers American Wheat Vodka

Filed under Bottle Reviews
The mouth feel is a bit heavy and viscous with almost an oily feeling. There’s only light alcohol on the taste, with some sweet, some bitter and some trace of mineral salt tastes. There are hints of malt, as well. This is full and a bit heavy, as vodkas go.
