Filed under: Thanksgiving  Humbly, I must renege.
A couple of weeks ago during all the hype and chaos surrounding Halloween, I got caught up in all things pumpkin and got all hot and heavy over Modern Spirits Pumpkin Pie Vodka. This isn't a pumpkin pie-flavored cocktail like I just posted; this is a vodka infused with pumpkin and spices meant for sipping alone. A vodka that tastes like pumpkin pie! Could there be anything better for the Fall?!?!
I went to a local high-end liquor store and shelled out a cool $25 for a bottle. Sure, paying $25 for a bottle of vodka is a lot, but it isn't unheard of for premium vodkas, but this was a 375 mL bottle. For an equivalent amount, that's actually $50!

I took the bottle to a friend's house for a bit of pre-Halloween marination before we went off to a proper Halloween party. Because Modern Spirits calls itself a "sipping vodka," we leapfrogged the usual routine of mixing with a little bit of club soda and went straight for the rocks. Before taking a sip, I sniffed the vodka straight from the open bottle, then over the rocks. Modern Spirits wasn't kidding. The stuff certainly had the familiar, warm spicy aroma of pumpkin pie.Continue reading Taste Test: Modern Spirits Pumpkin Pie Vodka tastes really bad Permalink | Email this | Comments
