Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Dutch wheat vodka built for the cocktail shaker, and it makes no secret of it: the producer describes it as designed by bartenders for bartenders. Made from French wheat and continuously distilled, it pours at 40% ABV (80 proof) with a light, crisp profile. The name comes from the Dutch word for "smooth," and that is the point of the bottle. Expect soft cereal and a creamy texture up front, a lift of citrus, a little white pepper, and a dry, clean finish. It suits anyone stocking a home bar who wants an unflavored vodka that stays balanced under vermouth, ginger beer, cranberry, or soda, and it is approachable enough for someone building a first cocktail lineup. Collectors chasing rarities should look elsewhere; this is a working bottle. We carry it because a dependable, even-tempered wheat vodka earns its spot on the shelf, and this one offers the smooth, balanced character its name promises in a standard 750 ml bottle.
Pairs well with
- Fresh oysters with lemon — The vodka's dry finish and citrus lift echo a squeeze of lemon over briny shellfish.
- Smoked salmon blini — Its soft cereal and creamy notes sit comfortably alongside crème fraîche and buckwheat pancakes.
- Home cocktail party — A crisp, balanced wheat vodka can anchor Martinis, Mules, and Collins from one bottle all night.
