Sadly, it seems to have disappeared since I bought a couple of bottles last Christmas. This seems to be the way with vodkas these days -- you have to release some kind of flavored version in a novel package to get noticed. But although I thought the plain Square One was reasonably smooth, I have a hard time paying $4 for a fancy half-gallon of milk at the froofy grocery store down the street, so the "organic" label isn't really selling me. After all, vodka -- like anything that can be called a "beverage" -- is mostly water. I hate flavored vodkas, but I thought the plain Square One wasn’t at all bad.
