Awards

In trials, the Beverage Tasting Institute of the USA awarded DOT AU Vodka the gold medal, declaring the vodka as "Exceptional". They reviewed the product as "Clear, mild tarragon, lemon verbena, and white pepper aromas. A smooth, silky entry leads to a glycerous, dry-yet-fruity medium body of candied lime zest, cream, tarragon, and green peppercorns. Finishes with a long spicy sweet fade of verbena and powdered sugar. Very appealing, delicate, and elegant citrus and herb flavors with a great texture. Serve in martinis or gimlets."
