Pop into your local Asian corner shop who sells the stuff, ask him for deal on the amount you need, job done.

OK it is a bit more expensive, but Monkey Shoulder is nice to drink for pretty much anyone that likes Whisky.
A bottle per table will be enough though...

I think you guys are drinking the wrong vodka?!
I prefer a nice single malt, but a decent vodka, served properly (i.e. straight from the freezer) certainly isn't "tasteless"!

I feel your pain.
Probably because most people don't drink a decent vodka.
Vodka tasteless bahhhaahhhhaaaa
However can't blame people for not knowing vodka. Good single malts you can find in lots of bars. Good vodka pre chilled is impossible to find anywhere
it's depressing. the only place you can drink it is at home, and I don't drink at home. so I generally never drink it, even though it's the best.
That's another thing I would like to open if I won the lottery is a bar dedicated to spirits, and it would have a massive vodka collection all stored in the freezer.
But as said at a wedding it will be mixed so buy JD or equivalent. If you know there's some people who really like it. Buy a few bottles of decent stuff, for those who appreciate it.

For everyone saying to get more vodka than whisky, are you basing this on your extensive knowledge of Indian weddings? I've never attended one, however it could be that they have a particular liking for whisky. Always a good idea to know your audience
More importantly, Indian food and copious amounts of booze - how do I get an invite?
Indian wedding? You need whisky and brandy, I've been to a couple of such events and all the blokes were drinking whisky and brandy like it's going out of style.
I have to say I joined them, along with copious amounts of lager and wine and a shedload of amazing food.
6 per customer shouldn't stop you - buy 6, then take them to the car, buy 6 more at a different till and take to the car. Repeat until you've got all the whisky you need, the previously mentioned whyte and mackay should work find.

It's Whyte & Mackay, not White & Mackay.
It's not Whyte & Mackay, it's Mr Mackay mmkay.
Get it right, mmkay!

It tastes like dilute ethanol, nothing more.
Even the experts can't tell the difference between the cheap supermarket brands and the expensive ones.
Really? Care to back that up?
Of course he cant.

What Absolut rubbish!
I'm not an expert by a very long way, but even I can tell the difference between a supermarket brand vodka and say Stolichnaya or Sobieski and they ain't even expensive brands.

The one indian wedding i've been to was amazing but if it was anything like the one i went to folks there repeatedly smashed the Bacardi and Brandy back to obscene levels, hardly anyone bothered with any other spirit
He made the mistake of inviting a Glaswegian to dinner.
Yes, buy pure ethanol solution and compare it to vodka, they taste the same.
The distillation process used to produce the ethanol solution that we use in science labs is the same as used to produce vodka that is sold in the supermarkets. In fact some brands of vodka are simply 95% ethanol that has been diluted and bottled.

Ain't the mind a wonderful thing, the placebo effect can be a big headache in clinical trials.
I have more faith in homeopathy than vodka brands tasting different.

They all taste the same, the difference is in the smoothness - pricy vodka is much much smoother.
But if I'm spending money I'll just spend it on brandy or whisky, I don't honestly see the point in fancy vodka.
It's a peasant drink, it should be cheap crap distilled in a car engine and drunk to drown your sorrows of how **** communism has worked out, not discussed like a complex and refined spirit.

Take <Smirnoff/Supermarkets Own> Vodka.
Add to apple juice.
Take Zubrowka vodka.
Add to apple juice. (The coldpress stuff is nice)
Then have a blind test.
Definitely a difference
