Every number is Russ’s own rating out of 10. Russ has previously stated that he never scores in sponsored videos, so the food he reviews carries no applied pressure or bias.
Great as a stronger orange vodka drink, but nothing like Double Black; would drink again.
Russ says it has no Double Black taste, unlike the raspberry version. It is more like an orange Zooper Dooper or orange ice block, and an on-screen overlay says it tastes closer to Hard Rated Alcoholic Orange. He praises the 6.5% strength and says the packaging should drop the Double Black name. The 8.5/10 graphic matches his spoken score.
