Polugar No2 Garlic & Pepper Vodka 750ml

A truly interesting and well made vodka if a bit quirky. Well worth buying and experimenting with. It could open up a whole new horizon of cocktails and food accompaniments!
Wow, not what i expected, the grain and its signature oily entry pave the way and actually stand up more than you would think before yielding to first the garlic then the heat and alkali tongue curl of the pepper. While it is warming with heat it is not some incendiary pepper bomb – the delicacy is much appreciated and a rare thing. The overall impression is like eating a peppered piece of wheat rye garlic bread, with no off notes, chemical favours or rushing for ice water. Extremely well done.

Appearance
Clear with no inclusions, sediment, etc. On swirling it leaves a light to medium coat on the glass with the swirl line retreating rapidly install legs that turn into droplets.
First Impression
Intensely garlic notes (but a Polish or Russian variety – milder than the German Hard neck) with hints of the pepper lingering below the first broadside from the garlic. The wheat and the rye round off the edges of what could be a harsher distillate if not carefully done, and add nice round bass notes to an otherwise highly aromatic bouquet.
