Remember a while ago when I went to Poland to visit the Auschwitz concentration/extermination camp? I stayed there for a few days and made a short video, my way of dealing with it, I guess. Anyway before I left, I did another thing: I bought a bunch of Polish vodka. It was a simple procedure: I basically went to a grocery store and put bottle after bottle into my shopping cart. But that wasn’t all of it. One bottle that was somehow special to me was this one: Exclusive Kosher vodka, imported from Israel.
Does the “kosher” in Exclusive Kosher vodka make a difference?
I took the bottles home to Germany with me, and the first one I opened was this one. I was going to drink it, but I was also going to give it a review. First the price: I had paid 8,5€ for this half-liter bottle, making it around 12€/700ml – a 9/10. The bottle design was nice. I enjoyed the simplicity of it as well as the fact that it had a dispenser thing in the top, though I didn’t like the red ring around the cap. A 7/10.
Now the most important part: taste and aftertaste. Would the “kosher” part make a difference at all? Well, I’m still not sure actually. All I can say is that the taste was very mild and a bit sweet, much to my liking (9/10). The aftertaste on the other hand had a surprisingly rich aroma, the only downside being that it seemed to stay a bit too “cold” (8/10) in the stomach.
Anyway, all in all, this was a very good vodka: 8.25.
