Vodka Notes: Winter Palace Premium Tzar's VodkaPosted Oct 24th 2007 5:04PM by Jonathan M. ForesterFiled under: Vodka, Lush Life, Raves & Reviews, Happy Hour, Spirits, Liquor CabinetWinter Palace Premium Tzar's Vodka is 40% abv. / 80 proof and is six times distilled in France. Named after the baroque Winter Palace built in 1754-62 for Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great. This vodka is created by an antique recipe formerly used to make vodka for the Russian Tzar's court using several different French grains to achieve the original flavor and quality.The aroma is light and clean with a hint of spicy herbs and almost the faintest touch of juniper, lain over a faint creamy base. There is almost a gin like nose going on here. As the spirit opened up some nice floral notes came out as well.The taste is very clean and smooth with just a little mild heat on the mid-tongue. Surprisingly for a six time distilled vodka, very faint touches of spice and mint come forth at first, then fade with a pleasant, slightly sharp and dry finish and lingering aftertaste.
