Good vodka to drink straight

[PapaLazaru]

So I am slowly going through some Finlandia tonight and it is easy to forget how dam smooth and pure it is. They should really charge more for it as £14 for a bottle is a steal.

I really like it with Redbull too the slight unusual bison grass taste goes really well with it, it's like it cancels out the harshness. Can literally drink half a pint of vodka like it's nothing

A few of my Polish mates drink it with apple juice 50/50.

It just tastes of apple juice. Very dangerous.

my wife got a bottle of ciroc vodka for her birthday, neither of us drink vodka so no idea if its any good or not.

Another one for Russian Standard. After needing some emergency vodka I grabbed some Smirnoff for the first time in a long time and the difference in quality shows. Finlandia is also some good stuff.

Definitely Grey Goose drank a bottle straight the other night for the first time was gorgeous. Very expensive though

I can't find the exact article I read a while ago, but Grey Goose was priced so highly as part of the marketing, so that it was seen as the best.

Chivas Regal was a cheap scotch in the 70's. All they did was rebrand it twice as expensive and that is what we have now.

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

Haha same!

Seems very few people have tried it but it is definitely one of the smoothest I've tried (I tasted it with others vodkas as well which gives quite a good comparison).

I also quite like how it has a gold top!

Yeah the packaging definitely suits it

I like the sound of Zubrowka, want to try that. The half and half with apple juice tasting of... Apple juice sounds interesting

Worth it.

Been £41.95 for months on thewhiskyexchange

 

[PapaLazaru]

Think I might buy another one. Nearly finished the one I got given a few weeks ago as I keep taking sips out of it.

Ensure the Zubruwka comes straight from the freezer and the apple juice is nice and cold.

Tastes lovely and will have you drunk without realising it.

Poilsh rectified spirit i amazing, but be warned as you really shouldn't drink it need, even if paralytic it'll taste like you've just burned your insides! 86% last time I had it!

Alx, we need a vodka night

I had the same feeling with the 70% poteen I tried ages ago I read the reviews for the 80% and 90% stuff they sell and it wasn't recommended to try it neat lol

Had plenty of Beluga Goldline last night, not sure its worth 3 times more than the normal stuff but very smooth
