The drink is easy to approach, but with the sweetness and vanilla to the nose, a little booziness is allowed too. The rhubarb (23%) and vanilla take up a lot of space on the pallet giving it a nice feel.
Vodka, Rhubarb, Lemon & Vanilla - it tastes how it sounds, sweet and fruity!
The vanilla comes through so clearly on the nose before you even take a sip, and the rhubarb really lingers nicely on the palate without getting too sweet. Poured it over ice after dinner and the boozy warmth balanced the fruitiness perfectly.
That 23% rhubarb really does the heavy lifting here—it's tart enough to keep the vanilla from turning cloying, and the booziness sits quietly underneath rather than shouting. I poured one over ice after dinner and it went down almost too easily, so maybe that's a compliment.
The vanilla comes through on the nose just like the description says, but it's the rhubarb that really lingers on the palate in a good way. Poured it over ice after dinner and the sweetness was balanced enough that I didn't feel like I was drinking juice.
