Though most vodka is made using grains, potatoes are also a mainstay, especially in Poland; their flavors tend to hold up better against the distillation process, lending an earthiness. This version is an excellent go-to bottle for the back bar, with an untraditional marketing angle: In a fictional comic book universe, “The Street Pumas” are a gang of liquor insurgents trying to defeat the evil forces of “They” (“The corporation trying to control people through their sense-deadening spirits”). It’s goofy, but a distraction from the excellent booze, which is clean, bright, and silken on the palate.
