Does a pure vodka have taste or smell?

Vodka is a distilled spirit made from any source, such as grains or potatoes. During the distillation process, impurities and congeners are removed, resulting in a spirit that is primarily ethanol and water. This gives vodka its characteristic smooth and odorless nature.

However, some vodkas may have subtle flavor or aroma variations due to the raw materials used, the distillation process, or additional filtering and processing. These variations can range from hints of sweetness or bitterness to a slight aroma of grain or alcohol.

Nonetheless, the goal of producing a pure vodka is to achieve a neutral and consistent spirit that can be used in a wide range of cocktails, mixed drinks, or consumed on its own.
