Review: Black Dot Vodka
The gaping black hole on the front of this new vodka brand’s bottle could suck your soul right out — and while its stark minimalism is controversial — the vodka itself is solid stuff.
Distilled in Madison, Wisconsin from yellow corn and local cherries (hmm!), this is a very clean and restrained vodka. The mild nose offers hints of a medicinal body with muted grain notes. On the palate, much the same: Classic medicinal notes balanced by light sweetness, with a short, pleasant, and cleansing finish. Not corny at all, and nothing hinting at cherries here, mind you — just generalized sweetness and a clean follow-up. Lovely straight and perfect in any sweeter cocktail.
I’m not sold on the big black dot, but the vodka inside is good stuff.
80 proof.

great stuff smooth and great taste
I love the package and the product. I feel it breaks the norm in the vodka world….
Great tasting Vodka, and I love the label. Simple and clean.
I don’t think a better vodka exists at it’s price point, if you can find it. The bottle is good, the label is great, the product is excellent.
