Boyd and Blair potato vodka
Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries Pittsburgh, PA
$24.49
40% abv
size: 750ml
made with....potatoes

Okay, so this is a potato vodka, however unlike other potato vodkas this one uses only the best part of the potato in the creation, so there is no lesser potato, which other distillers always use some of those to increase output. So, this vodka is actually one they advertise as being sippable rather than mixable.

I've watched through the years as the bottle label's story mysteriously dropped the co-founder from the history after a dispute caused him to quit, so i've seen this vodka evolve.

The smell of this is kinda weird because I dont smell any alcohol, somewhat rare for vodka. Smells pretty smooth, and I think I smell something like butterscotch. the smell almost reminds me of tequilla.

As for the taste...its extremely smooth for a vodka. There is minimal alcohol burn. I notice a butterscotch flavor almost as well with some vanilla in there. This would be good for sipping because it isnt very harsh at all. And the mouthfeel is a bit creamy.

Overall I think this is a good vodka. You can sip on this pretty easily, but I honestly dont know about mixing it. I've tried before and it overpowers the mix and you lose the actual flavor this one had.

I'd recommend it.
