The new black? 19/52 Posted on February 5, 2017 by vodkablog2016 Pay a bit more and go for a ‘small batch’ black, Smirnoff Black. Blimey, this is not worth the premium. Smirnoff Black is definitely not the new black. A shot from small batch no. 55 was unimpressive. Keep it for a mixer. Made in the UK and 40% alc/vol. Overall score: 4 shots out of 10 Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
