Thanks....gonna give it a shot! I got 18 minutes to get to the liquor store!! :Brent:

[Sooners2007]

I can tell you now, I wont find that in Kansas... Im a vodka drinker, but have been on a tequila kick lately. I always reach for kettle one, or ciroc for the everyday drinking. Id love to snag a bottle to ckeck it out, but havent seen it around.

[OUPenny]

....commercial use only?? That sucks.

[azwe]

Maybe I'm a vodka rookie but I can't taste the difference between any of them. Crystal head tastes no different from Smirnoff to me.

I like Titos. I KNOW ITS MADE IN AUSTIN, BUT I LIVE HERE!~

Very true! What do you vodka drinkers think of stoli elit?

[runningwithscissors]

they did a taste test on one of the tv news shows a while back. they brought all these people in that swore up and down that their various high end brands of vodka was the shit and that they could tell the difference between it and say some lowly brand like smirnoff. when it was all said and done most of them picked the smirnoff over several other "quality" vodkas including their preferred brand of choice. go figure. it's all marketing, kids.

I have Kraken and Kilo Kai rum as well...in fact, at last count I have about 70 different bottles of rum. Comparing Kraken and VooDoo isn't quite fair to either as they are different types of rum. VooDoo is a spiced rum and more along the lines of Captain Morgan or Monte Cristo. Kraken is a dark rum and comparable to Mocambo and other darker aged rums.

[ATLTom]

uh - Ketal One?

[fdubzou]

uh - Ketal One?

Actually, this is the vodka I order most often at bars. This is because most places (where I live) don't serve my first choices, Belvedere or Ciroc. I don't care for Grey Goose that much to be honest.

2- Ketel One- Very good, low $20's

3- Ciroc (good, a little different since it's from grapes) Mid $20's

4- Svedka (best economic choice) $13

Worst Vodka

Grey Goose, overpriced cheap crappy vodka, it's all marketing..terrible. :doh:

SoCali,

I went to a vodka tasting in Columbus OH in Sept '10. Oyo Distillery made some mean boutique vodka that I have NEVER tasted since. inhale deeply, then taste and compare directly to THE "NAME" brands. To be honest, they all smelled and tasted like rubbing alcohol. The Oyo was incredible> I cannot describe it.

btw, remember the PM I sent you 3-4 years ago of the upside down hook'em of my ex? best eva upside down hook'em? Never shared that with anyone else. Going to be my first post once I get to 100 and get permission.

Start padding that post count.

[Soonerrecruiter]

#1 is Tito's Handmade Vodka... Gluten free and very smooth (ignore the Austin origins and you'll be fine)...
#2 Kettle One. Very smooth and the best of the higher priced Vodka.
I will drink Absolut on occasion if I can't find on of the aforementioned brands, but it is not as good. Grey Goose is a fucking joke and I'd never drink that overpriced shit if I have a choice. Like Patron and P Diddy's Ciroc, GG is a marketer's wet dream; middle of the road product in a very nice container with great presentation and celebrity backing (which I never trust).

[SoCaliSooner]

I do recall.

Nice work....

[eyeballjr]

Tito's is good, my boss got a bottle of it as a tip once when he was guiding a hunt and turned me on to some. I am not a vodka drinker at all, but this stuff was pretty easy to stomache.

[mgsooner]

Sipping on some Tito's tonight. Was hoping to find some Reyka, but no dice. Would've gotten some Vox if the bottle wasn't so damn douchey. Tito's is treating me right though. May have to sub this in for the Stoli I typically buy.

Stoli's is premium, good shit. Ketel One is fine too. I have no problem drinking Svedka either....it's cheap but smooth imo. Belvedere is by far the most overrated, not a fan.

[Boognish]

Tito's is good... I like Sobieski as well. Nice and cheap, like my women.

If you are talking about the ABC news story, Hangar One & Belvedere were the winners in taste of the staight up shots. Goose was last. Most every test results say if you are going to mix it, it doesn't matter what kind you drink and just to go with a standard Well vodka

Crystal Head = Canadian. So, you know it's ultra premium stuff.

Crystal Head is an awesome vodka..I just wish they would put it in a cheaper bottle and charge less. I only buy it twice a year. I buy Russian Standard once a month. :)

How do you drink your vodka? I prefer Sprite with 2 jalape�o stuffed olive and a shot of grey goose.

For those who have had Goose and CH what is the difference between the two.

[macdaddybuff]

Man I went to get some of the skull vodka and yes I could afford it but dam 88 dollars..... I need to try it first lol in order to tell myself its worth it.

Or... buy 4 bottles of Svedka and get so drunk you forget you have kids.

[macdaddybuff]

I think I need to try out the 44 dollar one first to see if it is worth it. They were out of those. The other thing that bothered me is I would have that little amount drank in a few nights. Not much vodka in those tiny things.

[SoCaliSooner]

I keep my favorite rum in a shrunken head decanter and between the skull and shrunken head it adds a different vibe to the bar.

Crystal Skull bottle is a gimmick to hand over your cash to Dan Akroyd. I have a small bottle (skull) of it; it's good but there are others that are just as good and half the price. Russain Standard, Ketel One, and Chopin are my preferences.

[OUMallen]

The GF is primarily a vodka drinker:

For mixing: Svedka. So cheap, so decent.
For an "every day" martini: Tito's.
Her favorite premiums: Crystal Skull = Belvedere > Ciroc > Ketel

This is it. I am not a vodka drinker but this stuff is good.

Bought some Tito's today. I usually drink GG and was asking the owner of the Wine & Spirits store in front of the Lowes and Target in Edmond on 2nd street about the differences in a few other vodkas and GG and he suggested Tito's. He didn't hesitate. So I went with it. It's very good. I told him about my like for jalape�o stuffed olives with my vodka and he suggested mango juice with some cheyenne pepper with the Tito's. I tried it tonight and like it as well.

[mgsooner]

Discovered tonight that Primo's in Tulsa carries Reyka. It's just a wine night tonight but I'll be picking some up soon.

[Morningwood]

Ive never tried Ciroc ... P-Diddy's vodka. It's made in France from grapes (not grain or potatoes).

Havent seen it suggested: Luksusowa. Authentic Polish potato vodka, it's really good, and it's not very expensive. Try it.

Man collects icebergs to make premium vodkaBy David Strege*GrindTVScott Lindquist collects icebergs for a living.Yes, itisan extremely odd job, but when you learn what he does with the big chunks of ice he harvests from Prince William Sound, Alaska, the reason becomes clear as gin, or in this case, vodka.Lindquist is the head distiller of*Alaska Distillery—makers of award-winning vodkas, one of which is called Smoked Salmon—and the secret to his success is that the water used in the distilling process comes from Earth’s purest water source: glaciers.Jeff Cioletti, editor in chief of Beverage World,*told Outside Magazine*that water is very important to the quality of liquor.“It’s the quality of something so special and so old,” Lindquist told Outside.So, between September and May of the tourist offseason, Lindquist and his crew scour Prince William Sound, collecting 10,000 to 20,000 pounds of icebergs that have broken off from the Harding Icefield formed over 10,000 years ago during the ice age.Lindquist has poor eyesight, but he still manages to find icebergs that are just right for his vodka.From Outside Magazine:Like any seasoned hunter, he’s picky about his prey. We pass by some errant bergs that are no good, he tells me, because they’ve been exposed to the sun too long, becoming so porous that the oldest and tastiest inner crystals evaporate away. Lindquist prefers clean, round pieces that roll in the water from their own weight, shedding debris from their edges as they go. When he captures one, he’ll take it back to the distillery and cut the rind off with a chainsaw, getting down to the inner core, roughly two feet in diameter—pure, dense ice preserved for eons.Lindquist uses his son’s hockey stick to hook the icebergs (weighing 300 pounds and up) and guide them to the boat. Screws are twisted into the ice blocks, ropes are attached, and the ice is hauled on board.Does the water from the icebergs really make a difference?*Does Rocky Mountain spring*water make a difference in the making of Coors beer?“I can’t tell the difference between this and the stuff in my fridge at home,” Outside Magazine writer David Kushner wrote. “But then again, I realize, that’s not the point. What I’m really tasting is power—the awesomeness of water that was frozen 10,000 years ago and melted just for my pleasure. And that tastes great.”You know, we’ve just got to taste the Smoked Salmon vodka, priced at $30 a bottle on Amazon. It, and the other vodkas, must be pretty good. After all, Alaska Distillery went from $4,500 in revenue in 2008 to over $1 million last year, according to Outside.There is one looming roadblock to future profits, however: global warming.
