The first time I saw the Blue Eyes Vodka bottle, I was reminded of Honey Singh’s track blue eyes 😉
No kidding, in fact you should have it whilst the track is playing in the background and you might enjoy it even more. Ok enough of tripping so lets get down to business – Blue Eyes Vodka is a 40% ABV vodka from India. The quality is considered to be great. The average price is around INR 500 per 750mL.
THE SHOT
The Blue Eyes is smooth, especially for the price. This is another one of those premium vodkas selling for a non-premium price. It has very little flavor at first, then follows with a pleasant bitter tinge as it sits. On swallow, the bitter gets a little less enjoyable, but the vodka goes down like water. There is no need for a cooler, as the mild flavours won’t burn your throat down.
THE MIXED DRINK
FINAL OPINIONS
If you are tasting the alcohol, you’ve missed the point of making vodka. If you prefer that sharp alcohol flavor, then this is not the vodka you are looking for. In this vodka, the mineral bitterness and character are definitely on a relative par with each other. If you haven’t had Blue Eyes Vodka yet, you need to get a bottle for this weekend. But before that, you need to know that as this is a fairly new brand and you wouldn’t find it that easily. And also, you might need to gulp a down a few drinks before you can develop a taste for its smoothness. Lastly, the price is great and the quality is even better.
