So the dotAu is not one for neat consumption ?
Is that possibly due to being sugar cane based ?
I am not sure. It wasn't overly sharp, just didn't sit right going down for me. Had some smoothness but still had some bite. I am thinking maybe it was the texture of it.
I would say it is better mixing spirit, but you do so gently. Soda or tonic with a touch of grapefruit or OJ. That sort of thing. I would have likes to try a Soda & cloudy apple juice with a touch of mint too but ran out.
Certainly not worth the money they are trying to sell it at, but value at $35. The bottle is very nice too - very structural.
What does this compare to ?
Heard good things about Pravda as well.
There's two types of Wodka drinkers - those that have had Pravda, and those who haven't. That's all there is to say about it. Top of the line Polish.
And lets just say the old Jims price for Pravda was less than half the old going rate. They claimed $40 for the 375ml but it was regularly $45. There is still some of it around in the independent stores in Sydney at similar prices however Jims had most of it. The gift boxes have great tall shotglasses in them too. It's all quality - the juice and the accoutrement.
I see Nicks is stocking at for $60 per 700ml bottle. That seems to be good value - and probably stock from when the Pacific Peso bought more than a greenback.
Or I could drop in with an Elyx for $55 and bring some blades at the same time for the pass around ?
Hmmm tempting.... but I need to grab some Zytnia and various other bottles for stocking up. Never thought I would say this but I am out everything vodka. The 'Bloody Oath' stuff doesn't count. Haven't been game enough to try it yet.
Also a busy weekend coming - thats what happens when the kids were here last weekend.
