We received a few bottles from Pearl a few months back, and we were just able to unbury ourselves enough to review one of the bottles. This time around, we are covering Pearl Plum Vodka. Where the Pearl Pomegranate vodka was sampled extensively during our session, individuals (for whatever reason) seemed to be a little wary of sampling the vodka. There is really no need to, as the Plum flavoring…
We have had the ability to taste a number of different types of vodka over the year or so that the alcohol review section has been active. However, we have not had too much in the “organic†section of things, and Blue Ice is one of many reviews that we are conducting over the course of the next month to see how organic spirits stack up to their non-organic brethren.…
Before this, I thought that Knob Creek was the best whiskey out there. However, after getting a chance to review Bulleit Bourbon has revealed that there is a serious contender to Knob Creek’s throne. Don’t let the bottle’s retro flair fool you: despite claims to the contrary, what is present in each bottle of Bulleit Bourbon is complex, full-bodied, and will be a whiskey experience that imbibers will not soon…
Most the time, whenever I have some sort of mixed drink, there seems to be mounds too much sugar and not enough in the way of alcohol for me. However, Smirnoff has done the impossible and has created what I consider to be the best cocktail I have ever had. Their “Tuscan Lemonade†seems to be a shade or two darker than most lemonades, but the inclusion of Limoncello (Italian…
We get a ton of vodka, tequila, rum, and the like at NeuFutur HQ, but we have not received too terribly much in the way of liqueurs through the time our alcohol review section has been active. Combier is a great addition to anyone’s liquor cabinet, but it is only just now that the spirit has hit American store shelves despite being available for 175 years. The orange bouquet that…
A few weeks back Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka made its way into the office. At first I wasn’t too interested in the idea. Being “southernâ€, I had drunk tea from dawn to dusk for several years and would never be able to compare anything to the tea from my childhood. Needless my standards were set very high.
Vampyre Vodka is one of the first spirits that we have reviewed that has been distilled or otherwise processed in England. While there are a number of spirits crafted in the Eastern European countries and the Caribbean, Vampyre Vodka looks to make an English-crafted spirit into something formidable instead of forgettable. Available either in clear or red-colored versions, Vampyre Vodka comes forth with relatively plain packaging and documentation.
There have been very few in the way of flavored spirits that I have actually enjoyed, and Orange V is one of the few that I could honestly see myself purchasing in the next few years. As individuals may be able to understand from the title, Orange V is an orange flavored vodka. Unlike many other flavored spirits, the alcohol percentage (38%) is pretty much the same compared to a…
Very few vodkas are created with potatoes nowadays, with a number of companies merely using grain alcohol for their bite. Karlsson’s Gold is one of those few companies that are still using potatoes to create their vodka, and it is this attention to tradition that makes Karlsson’s Gold shine brightest of all “normal†vodkas. What individuals will first glean from Karlsson’s Gold is a bouquet that is much less harsh…
It’s been a few months since NeuFutur had a chance to review any vodkas from the Absolut line, so we were happy to see a 1 liter bottle in the post about a week ago from Absolut’s PR firm. Needless to say, we set up a tasting and got some good impressions of Absolut’s latest offering. The initial bouqet is as close to actually cutting open a Mango as possible;…
