[40%, sampled in Azerbaijan]
On October eighth 2018, I used to be on the brink of go away Azerbaijan. This was after I realized that I needed to strive extra vodka manufacturers from there. So I went to a retailer close to the border and purchased a couple of bottles. They have been all very inexpensive, so it didn’t actually matter.
This one was referred to as Stomach Parus.
the southern route
After I requested the shop clerk the place this vodka was from, he informed me that it was from Akhsu, identical to all the opposite vodka manufacturers from Azerbaijan. I had by no means been to Akshu, however my approach nearly led me previous there, again after I determined to take the northern route alongside the mountains close to Shamakhi.
hail to the photoshop
One factor that struck me as odd about Stomach Parus: it was nearly twice as costly as Napoléon, Samovar, and Stolichniy, which I had purchased some time earlier in Sheki. This 500ml bottle price 8 Manat for 500ml, which put it at round 6€ for 700ml. Nonetheless a ten, although.
The label design appeared as if it had been photoshopped and printed it out on an inkjet printer from the Nineties. I didn’t prefer it. I appreciated the overall form of the bottle, however it had a cork cap, so there was that. Not nice.
hearth within the bottleneck
The pouring sound was superior (which isn’t any shock given the form of the bottleneck). There was nearly no odor, which appeared like an excellent factor. The style was bizarre, although. Stomach Parus was very very fiery, and there was a word of bitterness to it. I didn’t prefer it.
The aftertaste was spicy as effectively, however there was a faint aroma that sort of made up for it just a little bit. I’m nonetheless undecided what that aroma was, although.
Total, Stomach Parus vodka isn’t superb. And it’s actually inferior to a number of the different vodka manufacturers that have been additionally supposedly additionally from Akhsu in Azerbaijan.
