[40%, sampled in Kazakhstan]
I received this in the summertime of 2018 after I was in Aktau in Western Kazakhstan ready for a visa for Azerbaijan. There wasn’t a lot to do, so I ended up going to the mall typically. On one in every of these events I made a decision to purchase a bottle of vodka.
no liquor after ten?
I instructed the shop clerk that I wished one thing from the area, however he shook his head and mumbled one thing that seemed like there wasn’t any. Then he handed me this bottle. It was referred to as Zerno, and it was from elsewhere in Kazakhstan.
Once I went to the money register, the girl there instructed me that I used to be too late. They weren’t allowed to promote alcohol after a sure time. It was the legislation. Then she took one other take a look at me, sighed, and determined to go forward and promote me the bottle. Possibly I regarded like a extremely wanted it?
polished retro
I paid 1500 Tenge for this half-liter bottle of Zerno. This meant a unbelievable value of about 5€ for a 700ml bottle. However then vodka in Central Asia is usually very inexpensive.
The bottle design was good and easy, concurrently conveying a sure retro-charm and polished sophistication. I favored it.
Zerno is produced from wheat, proper?
There was a tractor on the label, and the phrase Zerno meant “grain”. I took from this that this vodka was produced from wheat. Once I opened the bottle, there was solely a really faint odor that gave the impression to be promising good issues.
The style of Zerno was easy, heat, and satisfying at first, and I used to be pleased with it. However then it turned a bit fiery, and it burned on its means down the throat. It might have gotten a excessive ranking, however the burning was a bit an excessive amount of.
metallic chocolate
The aftertaste was a blended bag as effectively. At first there was one thing chocolaty to it, and I fairly favored it. However then the aroma turned from chocolate to metallic, and it turned dryish. And I didn’t prefer it as a lot anymore.
General, Zerno nonetheless wants a bit of labor. However in case you don’t thoughts your vodka being a bit feisty, then you definitely may give this one a strive.
