And much like any given member of their national football side is wont to do, England skies this strike up into Row Z. Three Olives is pretty dire. Vodka’s a neutral enough entity that it’s pretty hard to ruin. Okay, not that hard, various American distillers have been doing it for years, but Tres Aceitunas
have produced a right cock-up here. The off-putting metal-spoonful of Metamucil aftertaste reminds me of my all-time least favorite vodka, Rain. It’s a memory I’d rather not have revisited. Three Olives have been pushing to break into the youth market with a lot of gusto and “sexy” marketing, but I don’t think the kids are buying into it. This bodes well for our country’s future.
