Review: Ikon Vodka

Ikon is a well-established Russian vodka that is finally starting to gain real popularity in North America. First distilled in 1862, Ikon not only survived but thrived after the Revolution and remains strong today. Turns out that this vodka is still craft-distilled in Russia in the same town where the distillery was first founded.

Very clean nose with a hint of fresh pine needles. Silky smooth but bracing, crisp finish with just a touch of pepper. Wow! This is really good stuff. New favourite vodka. It’s as good as Grey Goose but at a wonderfully low price. Love it.

Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon A Sipping Good Holiday Gift

Christine Sismondo’s Gift Giving Guide in Gremolata Magazine Warms Up To Corner Creek Bourbon

Regarding bourbon, which was never well stocked in my province in the first place, I really don’t know what to tell you. It’s almost disappeared, but for an interesting recent addition: Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon ($46.95) from Bardstown, Kentucky. At 88 proof, it’s incredibly smooth and refined; gets the job done without being harsh. It’s a totally different style than most bourbons (indicated, in part, by it’s straw colour and odd burgundy bottle vessel) and, honestly, wouldn’t get a Pappy Van Winkle drinker to switch teams, but if mom likes a light colour, light body with a spicy, yet smooth flavour, this could be an interesting new treat
