Adnams North Cove Oak Aged Vodka Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Adnams

“Not like a grain whisky but a step over vodka. Just a bit woody.”

76
Adnams North Cove Oak Aged Vodka 50cl
70cl / 50% - An interesting oak aged vodka from Adnams - they take some of their Longshore barley vodka and then mature it in a mixture of French and American oak barrels before bottling at 50%.

This dram has a white wine-like color.

Nose (73): average. alcohol, floral, wild berries.

Palate (79): powerful. wood, floral, spices, pepper, sweet. Woody and spicy. I wasn't expecting this from a vodka. I like.

Finish (75): average. wood, spices, sweet.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Adnams North Cove Oak Aged Vodka 50cl with 76 points over 100.
