Ukraine's Edgy Khortytsa Vodka

This is Ukraine's most popular vodka, named after a former Cossack stronghold on an island in the Dnieper River that was razed to the ground by the Czars in the 19th century. The pure vodka is manufactured in the industrial city of Zaporozhiye, and is sold worldwide. It has a very clean, smooth taste with a slight citrus flavor. It also has a slight bitter taste which goes well with sausages and Ukrainian salo.

I also love the stylish rectangular design of the bottle, with its grooves on the side that help create a firm grip when the bottle's damp.

I'll be reviewing Nemiroff and other Ukrainian vodkas in future posts, but Khortytsa -- and especially its Platinum brand --is one of our favorites.
