A vodka from the Isle of Wight made with a small amount rock sea salt to evoke the fresh sea air and the saltiness on your lips after a day at the coast, or indeed sailing on the surrounding waters!
A-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin vodka with that slight sea salt salinity creating an enjoyable sea sipper. It's in cocktails that this particularly shines, though, where the salt can really bring flavours to life.
Didn’t like it so gave it away.
Missing the true meaning vodka, can’t drink neat and not worth wasting a good mixer on this monstrosity.
Money doesn’t always buy you quality. If you think you’re a vodka drinker, then I can only presume you drink vodka neat (or in a martini at least). Because any other diluted way makes the vodka totally obsolete and irrelevant. In comes Mermaid vodka, premium label and price tag - but ultimately flavourless (no, vodka shouldn’t be clean and pure tasting) and harsh. If you’re a mixer, you’re wasting your money on any vodka over £25, lets be honest.
If like me, your preference leans to other spirits (Whisky for me) but you want to keep a bottle of voddy in the house and aren't looking to spend much, it does the job. It's good for shots, fine for mixing and cocktails, wouln't be my first choice for sipping neat. Stoli is my preference these days for the above purposes, but Absolut is a perfectly viable option also, and is certainly a better choice than some others in it's price range (looking at you Smirnoff). It does smell like pure acetone though.
Horrible stuff poured it down the drain we couldn’t drink it expected some kind of quality very poor taste.
