Grey Goose is a French vodka at 40% ABV, distilled from French winter wheat and made with spring water drawn from Gensac in the Cognac region. Both of those facts matter to the taste: wheat gives a softer, rounder vodka than rye or potato, and the water source is part of why it finishes so cleanly.
Good vodka is not flavourless, and this one is a useful demonstration. There is a soft wheat character, a light citrus note and a faint almond quality on a smooth, clean finish. It has texture — it feels rounded in the mouth rather than sharp — which is what people are actually paying for at this price.
That texture is why it is a martini vodka. With almost nothing else in the glass, the base spirit is exposed, and Grey Goose holds up to that. It is also excellent simply chilled, on the rocks, or in a vodka soda with lime where you want the vodka to taste of something.
The frosted bottle is recognisable enough that it works as a gift or a table bottle for a celebration. 247BOOZE delivers Grey Goose 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across our active service areas.
