Reviews: U’Luvka Vodka

The story goes that Sigismund got tired of the low class hooch his barmaids were slinging and told his cheif alchemist, Sendivogius, to make a vodka that would be slightly less vomit-inducing. The resulting recipe may even have saved his life! Now maybe,  just this one time, an alchemist actually made something useful, but my bet is that Siggy was a raging alcoholic.

This might actually happen...

Note: My bottle spent just a bit too much time in the cold and in the middle of the night the cap actually blew off. Not to say that this is a common occurrence, but you might not want to stare directly at the bottle.

U'Luvka's got serious style. Coming in at around $60 a bottle, it ought to. My personal buying habits tend more toward "bang for the buck" brands, but if I was going to splurge on a vodka, U'Luvka would be near the top of my list. Sure the bottle looks like...something reproductive...but it's also going to stand out on just about any bar in the world. What's inside is also 1st class. The vodka itself is completely smooth, no burn, and it actually has flavor to it. These days most vodkas, even high-end brands, are distilled to death and loose all their flavor as a result. Bottom line: If you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
