I have finally found a vodka I like. - Page 4

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...

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.

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

Svedka mixed is ok...but too much of a rubbing alcohol taste...if you want inexpensive and pretty good try 3 Olives Vodka.

Apparently the vodka has been good to you this week!

I spent about 6 months Warsaw, Poland. Fell in love with a woman and many vodkas. My favorite was from a small distillery. English translation was "Arther's Castle" made in Krakow. It was very expensive. In fact the most expensive my Polish friends had seen at almost $12 US. They all raved about it.

Polish potato vodka goes well with every thing. Cigars, caviar and salmon tartar. Beautiful stuff, smooth, clean with a hint of pepper at the back of the throat that cleanses the pallet while making the mouth water.

Good chiller potato vodka needs something else to really shine. Try it.

I didn't like the old smirnoff, but now that their cheapy line is triple distilled, i don't mind it

WildBlueSooner · 03-15-2009, 06:58 PM

I like Finlandia a lot. Drank a fifth one time...oops!

I love Ciroc, made from grapes. Great flavor and really smooth!

I tried Ciroc about 5 years ago and love it. I have showed it to most of my friends and they end up buyng some for themselves.

hold on, did you try the good Russian Standard? I admit the regular stuff is crap, but the premium one is good. I think it's called Russian Standard Imperial or something like that.

Yeah i picked up the premium on a whim because it was on sale. It's really good. I'm hoping to start trying more vodkas

BengalMan · 04-10-2009, 06:37 PM

My favorite has gotta be Reyka. After that it would be Ciroc then Chopin.

Hammer and Sickle.....Anyone try it

I heard Svedka is as good as any top shelf vodka out there and 5 times distilled.

I bought a 1.5 today on sale for $17.99. Perhaps I'll have a nip before bed.

Tom, Super Low Foods on Nerge has this deal in their ad. The display doesn't have a sign but it scans $17.99. They also Have Lt. Dan's Rum, similar to Morgan at about half the price. It's very smooth and and easy to drink striaght. If your interested that is...

Thanks, Ron....SLF is about a block from my house, but I am not a big Svedka fan. Great price, though.

Now, if you hear of any deals on some Ron Zacapa...

04-12-2009, 09:15 PM

I had my nip of Svedka very smooth but like a previous post, a hint of rubbing alcohol.

The only Zacapa I've seen lately is in my own cabinet.

GreekGodX · 05-17-2009, 08:00 PM

If anyone in MI is looking for Sobieski, they have it for 20 bucks at Costco for a half gallon. Great price and it is a really good vodka don't let the price fool you.
