I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I can't drink Absolut, Stoli, Grey Goose, Smirnoff, Russian Standard, Glacier, Ketel One, or Svedka.

I've only been able to drink Polish vodkas with moderate success. Chopin, Belvedere, Luksusowa and just once Siwucha. Of these Luksusowa was best in my book but now it has been replaced. If you like vodka you must buy Sobieski. It's a Polish rye vodka that actually has flavor. At $11 a bottle it's incredibly frugal. Somewhat spicy, sweet after taste and aroma, smooth and warm. Best of all, this is the first vodka I've had that has not given me a hangover. Incredible. Of course, I drank it straight and warm.

I have never even heard of that Vodka, let alone tried it, however, it sounds interesting, and if I can find a bottle this weekend, I'll give it a go!

Like you, except for Ketel One, I do not care for any of the Vodkas you mentioned at the top. Over the last few years, I have come to really like Chopin (about $30), Staraya Moskva (about$20) & the Stolichnaya Gold (about $28)! The Gold is much different than the standard Stoli, offering a lot of spiciness. I also like Ketel One!

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I drink my bourbon, tequila and scotch straight. Vodka, on the other hand, is one that I will only drink when mixed. To me, the best vodka is one that has no taste or smell and will dissolve into a mixed drink. My favorites in this category are Tito's and Kettle One. Both are priced extremely reasonable. :al

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Taste is very subjective, but even so, you are the first I have ever heard, describe Ketel One as tasteless and void of aroma. Ketel One is kind of my go to Vodka, and I and many others I know, find it to offer a very intense mineral, flowery aroma, with very distinct flavors of smoke & licorice, with a light flowery finish.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

These two have done fine for me in mixed drinks which is really the only time I will drink vodka. Me and a bunch of my buddies had a tasting of 18 different vodkas about a year ago. Our tasting was done straight with no ice and at room temperature. Ketel One and Tito's were the two that rose to the top for me over the others I tried which were: Jewel of Russia, Ciroc, Stoli Elite, Grey Goose, Effen, Smirnoff, Imperia, Hangar One, Chopin, Absolut, Belvedere, Blue Ice, Finlandia, Idol, Level, Pravda.

What other vodka would you recommend that is tasteless, reasonably priced and void of aroma?

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

That's a difficult question, at least for me, because when I sample a vodka for the first time or two and it offers no aroma and is virtually tasteless, I completely put it out of my mind. I prefer to drink vodka over ice or martini style.

I have tried most of the ones used in your tasting, but not all of them. The ones I really like are Jewel of Russia, Chopin, Blue Ice and Hanger One!

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

So far my favorite is Banff Ice, but that may be because I am a sucker for local things ;)

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I am not a big fan of vodka.

I hope you understand that, by posting this, you gave the Massholes some valuable information on their retaliation strike.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I respectfully disagree. ;)

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

No disrespect intended my friend, but you really need to get a life!!! LOL!

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Grey Goose isnt bad, one of the only vodka that I drink.. everyone other one I have tried tastes like hair spray in the aftertaste.. not good.. Blahhhh

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Question, Oliver....how to you know what hair spray tastes like? :confused::r

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I sure hope they don't retaliate more than they already have... 23 cigars, a box of cookies, and a digital camera... I'm still rebuilding here man.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Try opulent, or Ciroc(made from grapeS) my 2 favs.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I know them, the pain ain't over yet.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Ciroc is a tasty alternative, I must say

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Heresy!!

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

If a bar doesn't have any good vodkas, you can always count on it to have a bottle of Grey Goose. It's just fine with soda and makes a potable martini, but it's barely above house vodka with a premium price tag, in my opinion.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

By good vodkas I assume you are referring to Smirnoff, Five O'Clock, and Arrow?

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I tend to drink Vodka straight on the rocks. That requires a very clean tasting vodka. My favorite in that regard is Belvedere. Many of the others -- even the esteemed Grey Goose -- have an unpleasant harshness and aftertaste.
Hanger One is OK too, as is Chopin. Ketel One is a good vodka, but is better for mixing.

Yeah, just my opinion. Drink what you like.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

how about Wybrovka?

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

As everyone already knows, an honest mootini is made exclusively with gin. When vodka is called into service I favor Russian Standard and Luksusowa, iced hard with lemon twist accent and lemon-rubbed rim. Vodka however is best gulped cold, russian style.

I will try this $11.00 miracle. Might be better than Yerba Mate, Mith'. Thx.

Hard to beat the mate but it might:

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I can't believe no one mentioned Three Olives...I love the stuff

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

have you had pravada..its pretty good

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

This stuff isn't bad. I keep it on hand for tasty vodka tonics and screwdrivers.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

No one has mentioned Rain.

nummy, nummy.... http://www.rainvodka.com/Rain.htm especially for a Midwest boy.... gotta love a Midwest corn vodka!

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I was drinking that stuff for several weeks because it was so inexpensive and I liked the taste as well. But, I swear it kills more brain cells than most other vodkas I drink. Or maybe I was just hitting it harder than I did the others?

:al

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I am the agent for Vertical Vodka made by chartreuse from France. It is one of the few vodkas that is four times distilled. Worth a try if you can get it.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

ever tried tito's handmade we had a bottle last night nice stuff.made in austin texas distilled 6 times

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Good vodka = Aristokrat


:D

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Wyborowa? I like that one, along with the Luksusowa (what I have now). I'm not a vodka connoiseur by any means, but all I know is that these taste good to me, don't cost too much, and that Smirnoff is like gasoline. I've had Ketel One and prefer the Luksusowa.

They don't seem to sell this Sobieski here in BC, but I'll have to try out some of the other brands mentioned here...

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I about put a bottle away in one sitting. I liked it! Pretty easy to drink and not too costly. :tu

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

It's clean too.... no hangover or ill side effects... even after a bottle!

I did the same with a bottle not too long ago. tore into it and before I knew it it was gone!:al

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I'm a Svedka fan. I have definitely tested my sobriety limits and then gone about 10 drinks past that limit and have never, ever once woke up the next morning with the jackhammer crew in my head. I cannot say that about many other quality adult products. Svedka is definitely my Quap of choice.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Thanks for the tips Matt. Yesterday I bought myself a bottle of
Luksusowa (I wanted to try potato vodka). I'm having a frosty glass now while watching the Eagles getting their butts kicked by the Cards.
I left the bottle outside on my porch last night were temps where about zero. Smooth, sweet with a nice spicy finish that's fantastic.
Thanks to your advice I'll be picking up a bottle of Sobieski tomorrow for comparison.
I hope it tastes like Lee Lee Sobieski!:D

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I'm a college person, so I will drink anything, but when I go home I have more of an option as to what I can drink. I like Grey Goose when I'm at home, but I will definitely try Sobieski.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Love the elite!!!

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I'm a huge Ketel One guy. There are some great suggestions on here. I have to say I'm not a big fan of French vodka, it tasted like vodka with a hint of wine. Most likely since it was made from grapes...

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Though I haven't had much luck with French vodkas, Allan B. did turn me on to one I do like. Jean Marc XO, very unique and good straight up. :tu

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

Luv me sum Svedka but Sobieski is pretty good for being so inexpensive.

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

apparently you are, however, a fan of lying

Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.
 

I am lying down right now. :)
