I have been drinking Pearl for about 2 years. I found it to be a nice substitute for more expensive brands. I usually buy it by the case, so imagine my surprise when I opened the first bottle in my most recent purchase to find they have substituted the normal Pearl with some kind of rotgut. I normally drink my vodka chilled with olive, dirty, if you will, but this swill is not even suitable for mixing. I’m taking the rest of it back. Please, tell me what happened?

This is a very good vodka and anyone who tells you otherwise has not acquired the taste for it. If you’re expecting a flavorless white liquid, then Pearl is going to take some getting used to. But, if you want a smooth vodka with character and complexity, Pearl is going to be a delight. Pearl is a bit heavier than your typical vodka. It has some dark overtones, including butter, caramel and scotch…Yet it is very smooth. If you don’t like this vodka, trust me – you haven’t given it a fair test. I’ve had Svedka, Ruskova, Ketel One, Grey Goose, Smirnoff, Fris, Finlandia, Eristoff, Belvedere, Belvedere, Rokk, Vikingfjord, Sobieski, and I’m sure many many others I cannot remember…So far, I’d much rather drink Pearl than all of them. I buy vodka for martinis and I drink it straight up with two olives, clean with no olive juice. If you want to mix vodka with cranberry juice than buy Taaka or Sobieski – both of which are inferior to Pearl. I think Sam and I are in agreement on this. Pearl is a great vodka that is not only smooth but rich with flavor.

The best vodka i have ever had, smooth no burn doesnt dry the mouth, straight on the rocks mixed whatever. At 20 bucks for the 750ml it blows away the compition hands down. I’m 52 years old from connecticut and have had every brand of high end vodka there is and if i go to the store and they don’t have Pearl then i go elsewhere to get it. ENJOY AND BE SAFE

Robert- I disagree with you- this stuff is very drinkable straight- not even cold. no bitterness and no burn. Look folks, vodka is basically an industrial solvent gussied up to make people think its something great. It ain’t. Try Malt whisky for complexity. But we drink it because we don’t want to notice it. At 15 bucks at Trader Joes its a deal ( no I dont work for them) Stay sober(ocassionally)

This is incredibly terrible. It was marked down from $34.95 to $19.95. Buyer beware when it’s marked down almost 50%. I cannot recommend this for any use which requires consuming. Is there a niche market for something that tastes like this at retail price? Wow. No product has ever moved me to submit a review, hundreds of purchases and some random vodka makes me register and submit a review. I hope I save someone the disappointment and regret.
