SMIRNOFF OR KETTELONE - WHAT'S YOUR PREFERENCE?

Greygoose, or Belvedere. Skyy when I fly but thats about it.

I pick Absolute over your 2 choices... Just me, I also like the bitter alcohol taste.. ;)

WILD TURKEY 101 PROOF.

Yes, but can you taste the vodka when you drink the smooth ones?

Try Wolfschmidt's. I was in a liquor store once looking at the vodka and couldn't decide what to buy. This guy comes flying in the door and heads right for the vodka and grabs a bottle of Wolfschmidt's. I figure he knew what was good and I grabbed a bottle for myself. Good stuff and not that expensive.

Ahhh...someone like me. I like to 'feel' the vodka in my mouth and throat....I am from the 'baby boomer' age, and I started drinking with Smirnoff (guess that's all I could afford back then)

I ain't paying 25 bucks a bottle just to end up pissing it out in an hour.

Stolichnaya

Well, we paid about $40 for a bottle of Kettleone this Thanksgiving...here in Midwest

Oh my!

Yes, but is Stolichnaya hard or real smooth...does it bite your mouth a little? can you determine approximately how much alcohol has been put in your drink? I can figure that out with the strong, fierce brands

STOLICHNAYA

Love Stoli's

The cheap stuff leaves you with one hell of a hangover.

Reyka Vodka: Tastes like Iceland <--- but watch out for the Icelandic mafia

It's got a little kick!

Russian Passover Vodka and Tonic.

Fill one tall glass with ice
Add a lime wedge
Fill to top with Stoli's
Pass the unopened tonic water bottle over the mouth of the glass.
Enjoy

I've been drinking Burnettes it's like high quality for a low price. I like it.
What ever you do stay away from heaven hill or is it haven hill. I don't recall but I know it's some nasty shit.

And yes I do like the bite.

Black Douglas!!!!!

I drank Popov at one time and it started having a bad taste. For parties buy the cheap stuff and put it in the expensive bottles.

stoli...good solid russian vodka...no hangover!!!

I have wondered if the russians developed a special kind of grain to make this exellent vodka with...anyone know the story on stoli???

Ahhh...good to hear some more folks like me out there. Like I said everyone would just blink when I criticized the 'too smoothness'...like 'wouldn't you just want the verrry best?'

I think there are a few vodka brands actually made from potatoes. From Poland I think?

I think you could put Vodka in just about anything...even Kool Aid. And...a real drinker will drink a shot straight down.

YES!

Lots of Kool Aid/Vodka results on a search.

Now honestly! I tried vodka and kool aid and have never had it since. That was thirty years ago.
I don't recommend it.

One was called the Kool Aid Slammer. :-)

The only thing more vile is Vodka with coca-cola!

Bleah!

Stoli, and Stoli gold especially, real Russian Vodka flavor, probably the most traditional of the better vodkas, some hangover, but not too much.

Skyy, Svedka, clean, not a lot of character, but clean vodka taste, little to no hangover.

Kettle, Ultra clean taste, more Chariot, but not a whole lot more, virtually zero hangover.

Goose, sweet vodka, lacks traditional flavor, but tastes like sweetened or processed with French Anti-freeze, badass hangover, no matter how much it costs.

Smirrnoff, OK quality vodka, traditional Russian flavor, not overly clean and mass produced taste, medium bad to bad hangover.

Luksusowa, CHOPIN, Polish Potato vodka, different flavor than grain vodka, same rules apply, the more distillation, the less hangover. Different flavor and often a change of pace for traditional Russian vodka drinkers.

Popov, best mixed with Kool-aide or grape soda, consumed for the purpose of getting hammered for the lowest total cost possible, wicked hangover often accompanied by waking up next to the ugliest creature you have ever encountered, wearing your clothes......

It's the fusal(sp)oils that cause the hangover, so if it's distilled right you shouldn't get a hang over as long as you are well hydrated.

I drink it straight and chase it with water. Because after all, I'm only drinking for one reason.
