vodka, white wine, and carbonation
The blessed among us receive, as a result of their dedicated patronage, first dibs on allocations of Pappy and Stagg. The rest of us are gifted whatever detritus the sales reps have left behind. It's hard to believe that this exists, but it does. Here is some evidence.
nose: pleasant sweet-tart fruit (artificial cherries and grapes), a bag of wet gravel, and cheesecloth. some vegetal notes, too.
palate: oh no, oh no this is sparkling vodka. it tastes like vodka, with bubbles. It's sweet and stemmy, too, but mostly this tastes like vodka soda. Not like: vodka and club soda. But rather like: vodka-flavor soda. With grape stems and sweet.
finish: lasts much too long but ends pleasantly, back on the fruit candy flavors.
This is an abomination, not because it tastes terrible (though it's quite bad), but because there is no reason for it to exist and yet it does. Sparkling wine continues to be a better option for sparkling-wine-type-products.
score: 60
