Grey Goose Vodka is clear and flows as smoothly as water. The nose is slight, with scents of smoke, vanilla and alcohol prevailing along with a touch of cooked grains. The taste is typical slightly complex with a body that is clean and crisp along with a distinct bitterness and a slight taste of charcoal. It finishes with a peppery sensation that quickly fades into an aftertaste that combines the flavors of alcohol and a small amount of vanilla extract.
