In 2000, Vincent Van Gogh Vodka was released and made a stunning entry into the highly competitive world vodka market. The brand received a Five-Star rating (the highest recommendation) from the highly respected “Spirit Journal.” Shortly after, the “Wine Enthusiast” rated the Vodka 94/100 commenting: “The nose is rich and full, and the body is big and lush with a wonderful “bread-dough” quality that gives this vodka character and an oily sweetness. The finish is long, leaving the mouth with a final burst of pepperiness, and the oilness of the vodka seems to coat the throat. This vodka makes a stylish martini. 40% Alc./Vol.”
