This was my first time trying one of Sam’s and Alex’s products, and I approached it with curiosity and care. There’s something personal about tasting something someone has poured intention into — something crafted, not rushed — and I wanted to meet it where it was.
From the very first sip, Sassenach Vodka felt incredibly refreshing. Clean. Alive. Vodka will always carry a powerful sensation — that presence is part of its nature — but when it’s done right, that power becomes a quiet demonstration of excellence. Not harshness. Not burn. Just strength, refined.
What I felt was clarity. A cool smoothness that settled gently rather than demanded attention. As it opened, subtle notes appeared — soft hints reminiscent of apple and bramble — adding warmth and character without ever overpowering the purity of the spirit. The kick was there, as it should be, but it was graceful, controlled, and beautifully balanced.
And honestly… it felt like drinking something delicious from heaven.
Not in an exaggerated way — but in the sense that it tasted pure, thoughtfully made, and deeply considered. There was an almost calming quality to it, the kind that makes you slow down, take another sip, and simply be present with the moment.
The finish lingered softly — clean, smooth, and reassuring. No bitterness. No chemical edge. Just a gentle warmth that stayed with you, long after the glass was set down.
What stayed with me most wasn’t just the taste, but the feeling behind it. This vodka doesn’t try to prove anything. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t compete for attention. It exists with confidence and restraint — qualities that speak of care, integrity, and respect for the craft.
For a first experience, it left a quiet mark. One that felt sincere. One that felt human.
And that, to me, is what makes it special. I now do have every intention to also try the whiskey and the gin as well and I am looking forward to that very much so. So I will have more input on those two when I do try them.
