How to Taste Vodka Like a Pro
Step 1: Prepare
Use a clean, tulip-shaped glass or a standard rocks glass. Chill the vodka to 0-4°C. Pour 1-2 oz. Avoid ice initially as it dilutes the spirit and masks flavors.
Step 2: Observe
Hold the glass up to the light. Look for clarity and viscosity. Quality vodka should be crystal clear with a slight coating on the glass when swirled.
Step 3: Smell
Bring the glass to your nose without putting it directly under your nostrils. Take gentle sniffs. Quality vodka should have subtle aromas with no harsh alcohol burn.
Step 4: Taste
Take a small sip and let it coat your entire palate. Don't swallow immediately. Notice the texture, flavors, and warmth. Smooth vodka should have minimal burn.
Step 5: Finish
After swallowing, pay attention to the aftertaste. A quality vodka should leave a clean, pleasant finish without harsh or chemical notes.
