Well, it has been a while since we encountered an unfamiliar Russian vodka. National Vodka? We just do not recall seeing it previously, though we are woefully overdue for a visit to Russia.
National Vodka (80 proof) is an impressive spirit. Sure, you can make cocktails from it, but we think you should try it freezer-chilled and neat.
National Vodka is a robustly flavored vodka, the antithesis of, say, Ketel One, which is virtually flavorless. National shows notes of grain, citrus, and black pepper.
And here is the real eye-popper: National Vodka retails for about $14 a bottle. Yes, you read that correctly. So stock up!(Rating ****1/2)
National also comes in flavored varieties, including Citru, Horseradish (Bloody Mary’s anyone?), and “Pepparo” (hot pepper).
National Vodka is imported by Rus Beverage of Horsham, Pennsylvania: http://rusbev.com/ . To learn more about National Vodka, surf to http://www.mynationalvodka.com/. To learn where you can purchase National Vodka, click http://www.mynationalvodka.com/distribution.htm.
