I would suspect it would be not at all bad. It definitely wants to go in the "savory/umami" direction.
Actually, this is a vodka that I'd not be embarrassed to mix with a well-chosen vermouth and call a "martini". I could see something like 2 parts Karlsson's, 2 parts Hendrick's Gin, and 1 part the RIGHT brand of vermouth -- maybe Noily Pratt, maybe Dolin, probably not Martini & Rossi.
