Smirnoff Blue Label 100 Proof 1,0 l

I had been obtaining this Vodka from Duty Free shops when traveling, because I just could not find a source of supply in England. I then found a supplier in Spain, unfortunately it seems that all over Europe this is just advertise as Blue label so the Vodka I received was not the 57 it was Formula 21. Now the 57 is slightly more bitter than the 21, and as such complements the sweetness of coke very well giving you a well balanced drink. The Formula 21 is much sweeter and when mixed with coke makes the drink far too sweet for me, making it difficult to taste the Vodka properly. Unfortunately this 57 seems to be disappearing from the stores, being substituted by the 21 version. Having found a supply with Beowein, and bought several bottles, I am now told that all their new stock that is coming in is the Flormula 21, and not 57. So if you are thing you are ordering the Smirnoff 57, be advised you will probably get the 21 instead, and Beowein should change their advertising to reflect that fact.

The best Smirnoff on the market, and not easily obtainable, but now I have found a supplier I will be back to order more in the near future.
