It finishes clean, with a flicker of ginger heat.Top 100 2016.Kara Newman, October/ | Chopin Rye is extraordinarily silky with a medium body, a rich, balanced finish and a lively hint of spice. Clear with subtle aromas of rye dough follow-through, it is an elegant, artisanal vodka for sipping and superior cocktails.
