Good vodka to drink straight

I ordered some U'Luvka when it was on offer at amazon over chrimbo. I'm not a vodka drinker, but damn it went down smooth. Might be a bit overpriced though.

I've also heard a lot of good things about Crystal Head and really want to try some - if I hate it at least the bottle is exceedingly cool.

It is *very* smooth and light - Makes Smirnoff seem like raw sewage!!
A couple of the local classy restaurants stock it too, so I always like to avail myself! :D
 
I personally like Grey Goose and Zubrowka, though I wouldn't say no to some Absolut which has been in the freezer. :)

Smirnoff is disgusting. It is cheap vodka in a fancy get-up.

Try Snow Queen. It is so smooth and has a little hint of sweetness.

I took a bottle out to a mate in Geneva a while back as we decided to try it at room temp. We drunk the whole bottle it was that nice.

Smirnoff is in a fancy get up? ;) Absolut is decent for the price - especially when you can get it for £9 a bottle in the caribbean... That said, Stolichnaya is only £7 a bottle out there and I'd rather have that :D

Hmm, can't say I've heard of it before but it seems reasonably priced... Might give it a go.

Im also noticing that Crystal Head is starting to drop a bit in price. Soon...soon... :eek::D
 
Not tried tons of vodka's but that's pretty much all I drink these days(usually with ice, squeezed lime and soda water), though sometimes straight with the premium brands.

My current order of preference would be.

"Premium" - Grey Goose, Crystal head, Belvedere, Snow Queen.
Cheap - Russian standard or that Bison one.

Grey Goose is my daily driver, usually get a bottle or two each time I visit CostCo.
Just ran out of Crystal Head and its very nice but a little expensive due to the awesome bottle. :)

Smirnoff is just awful.
 
Was planning on trying it properly (out of the freezer with a frozen granite shot glass) but just tried it neat at room temperature.

My god it is so smooth, I think I'm in love.
 
Smirnoff is popular for a reason, it's a decent drink at a good price.

I got a barrel of Neft today, never tried it so hoping it's good!

I really liked Black Cow vodka when I tried it, very smooth (probably because it's made using milk).

Was looking for someone else mentioning this!

Not a huge Vodka person (prefer Whisky if I'm going to drink spirits neat) but I tried Black Cow on a whim and it was nice and smooth :)
