The main points of difference with Ciroc are that...
a) It is french and...
b) It is made with grapes.
While most vodkas are made from grain, wheat or potatoes, Ciroc is made using "Snap Frost" grapes in the heart of the cognac country, France.
Distilled five times as opposed to the traditional two or three, it still manages to retain the subtle characteristics of the grapes.
Colour : Colourless (It's Vodka after all!)
Nose : Herbs, Medicine with a hint of pepper.
Taste : At first this vodka sits very forward on the tongue almost like most traditional Russian vodka's but without the very strong peeper taste that they are known for. It has light citrus start going through to smooth grape. Very fresh grape notes carry through a long pleasant finish.
Very easily drunk neat or on the rocks, Ciroc would also suit a light splash of tonic or lemonade. Steer away from stronger mixes that would drown out the subtleties of this premium vodka.
