[40%, sampled in Azerbaijan]
On October eighth 2018, I used to be on the point of depart Azerbaijan. This was once I realized that I needed to attempt extra vodka manufacturers from there. So I went to a retailer close to the border and acquired just a few bottles. They had been all very inexpensive, so it didn’t actually matter.
This one was known as Stomach Parus.
the southern route
After I requested the shop clerk the place this vodka was from, he advised me that it was from Akhsu, similar to all the opposite vodka manufacturers from Azerbaijan. I had by no means been to Akshu, however my manner virtually led me previous there, again once 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 virtually twice as costly as Napoléon, Samovar, and Stolichniy, which I had purchased some time earlier in Sheki. This 500ml bottle value 8 Manat for 500ml, which put it at round 6€ for 700ml. Nonetheless a ten, although.
The label design regarded as if it had been photoshopped and printed it out on an inkjet printer from the Nineties. I didn’t prefer it. I preferred the overall form of the bottle, nevertheless it had a cork cap, so there was that. Not nice.
fireplace within the bottleneck
The pouring sound was superior (which isn’t any shock given the form of the bottleneck). There was virtually no scent, which appeared like a great factor. The style was bizarre, although. Stomach Parus was very very fiery, and there was a be aware of bitterness to it. I didn’t prefer it.
The aftertaste was spicy as effectively, however there was a faint aroma that type of made up for it a little bit bit. I’m nonetheless undecided what that aroma was, although.
Total, Stomach Parus vodka isn’t superb. And it’s actually not so good as among the different vodka manufacturers that had been additionally supposedly additionally from Akhsu in Azerbaijan.
