Magadanskaya Vodka
by F. Sot Fitzgerald
As
a kid, I recall hearing that Russians made vodka. As I grew older I picked
up from God knows who that the BEST vodka comes from Russia. Yet, in recent
years I've tasted a number of Polish vodkas and have found them to be
terrific. As for Russians- sure, Stoli and Stoli Vanil are grand, but
I had to wonder if the real action was in Poland. Forget Russia- their
day has passed.
Whoops-
Magadanskaya, or Maggy, has made me rethink that notion. Maggy is, perhaps,
the best vodka I have ever tasted. Oh yes, it is smooth, no doubt. But
taste- here's where Maggy soars. It's a little nutty, a little sweet,
and actually smells of violets. After sitting in the freezer a half day
it is incredibly viscous, giving it a wonderful mouthfeel that leaves
you masticating.
Maggy vodka is quadruple distilled and filtered nine times.
