Smoke Lab Classic Vodka 75cl

A proper “house vodka” should be quiet in the right ways and bright in the right moments. Smoke Lab Classic nails that sweet spot, clean enough for your Martini night, but with just enough character to stop it feeling like plain alcohol.

Made in India, this vodka keeps its profile crisp and kitchen-friendly. Think light grain, a hint of lemon zest, and a dry, peppery edge that shows up right when you want definition in a Vodka Soda, Moscow Mule, or Espresso Martini. It’s classic, but not boring.

If you’ve ever mixed a drink and felt like the spirit disappeared, that’s the problem this solves. Smoke Lab Classic holds its ground without taking over, so your citrus, ginger beer, coffee, or vermouth still tastes like itself, just sharper and more put-together.

• Nose: Clean grain, soft mineral notes, a quick lift of citrus peel
• Taste: Light sweetness up front, then cracked pepper and subtle spice, with a crisp, dry feel
• Finish: Short to medium, tidy and slightly peppery, leaving a fresh, just-squeezed impression

This is the bottle you keep for the classics. It’s a reliable base for vodka cocktails where balance matters, and it plays especially well with bright mixers (lime, soda) and bold ones (coffee, ginger). No fuss, just solid structure in the glass.

It also makes batching easier. When you’re building a jug for a get-together, you want a vodka that won’t turn your mix muddy. Smoke Lab Classic stays clean and consistent, so the last pour tastes like the first.

Good to know: if you’re stocking up your bar cart and you want one Spirits, Vodka option that covers a lot of ground, this is the workhorse pick. It’s crisp, lightly spicy, and flexible across a ridiculous number of cocktails.

Fun Fact: Smoke Lab is an Indian spirits brand that built its reputation on obsessive distillation and filtration, aiming for a vodka that’s clean enough for a Martini but punchy enough to show up in mixed drinks.
