Kástra Elión Vodka Review

Forget everything you thought you knew about vodka and sample this bottle. Distilled from olives and grains,  this Greek vodka delivers definite character from the get go. Saline notes jive with an unexpected burst of fruit on the nose, leading to a velvety, well-rounded palate. Mix up a Martini and serve with an olive garnish — but forget the brine!
