Smiling Wolf Crystal is made from authentic vodka spirit ingredients, blended with the brand's nootropic and B vitamin formula. It pours completely clear with a slightly viscous quality. Mint and white pepper open on the nose, with a faint cereal note underneath. On the palate, pepper comes through from the front, followed by fresh citrus and a subtle grain character from the malt base. It has more texture and more to say than a neutral-tasting AF spirit, which sets it apart from some of the thinner vodka alternatives. The finish is dry and light, with a peppery warmth that lingers briefly. It works where you want something clean but not completely characterless.
