Hamptons Vodka

After a long break we are back and reviewing again, so let’s get this show on the road. After a quick trip down to the local Bevmo, we're reviewing Hamptons vodka.

Hamptons is an American vodka distilled from 100% corn and is a clean and well balanced vodka. Hamptons is easy on the nose with a pleasing and simple aroma, almost of a freshly fallen rain in spring. It is distilled 4 times and was a double gold medal winner at the 2006 San Francisco world spirit competition.

This vodka mixes incredibly well, most noticeably as a great screwdriver or a fantastic martini. Hamptons is also rather enjoyable neat, though I prefer it on the rocks. Hamptons is categorized as an ultra premium vodka and has only been around since 2004.

I have to say I am rather impressed with Hamptons vodka, and for about $20 for a 750ml bottle it’s well worth the reasonable price tag.

Conclusion: Not only does Hamptons play well with others but is very capable of standing on its own 2 feet, this is unusual for a vodka who has only been around for a few years. Hamptons came out doing everything right. Is it the best out there? No, but it is a very impressive vodka with great mix ability and flavor and makes one of the best screwdrivers I have had in some time. The only negative thing I can say about this vodka is that at room temperature it loses some of its smooth easy drinkability and has an immediate, though mild by comparison, burn to it. Overall I recommend this vodka, it is a good solid 8.5 out of 10.
