Agree 100%. I've had it & like it. It actually has some flavor, since it's unfiltered & distilled just once. Virgin potatoes only - no added water. A great idea, going against the grain. The competitors who distill 5 & 6 times have turned their products into lab alcohol with all the charm of such, IMO. Karlsson's drink of choice is on the rocks with ground pepper on top. They also make an Akvavit which I like ever better. wj
