Definitely. Ciroc is alright, I don't think it has as much body as Ketel. Crystal Head is very good also. How do you drink Ketel?

Shameful as it may seem, I like my vodka with a splash of pure orange

Having said that I always try them neat straight from the fridge upon first tastings.

Mmm... I'm glad you said that second part.
Personally, I hate vodka & orange. It's the only spirit+mix that I can't drink. I'm not sure why, just can't stomach it. I'm with you on trying it straight, and you can really tell the difference between a crap vodka and a good one like Ketel. When I'm drinking vodka of this quality it's usually with tonic (not wine

).

On a vaguely related note, I had gin and orange in a club once, it tastes like fish.

Enjoying a brandy and coke now, both cheap versions.

I once drank (actually drank lots of it) Gin & Bitter Lemon while working aboard in a pretty much non english speaking part of northern Spain. I can still remember waking in the early hours and watching (extremely lucky!!) the fountain that exploded from my mouth....

I also drink my Vodka with coke, Ahleckz

As do I.

Hell, enjoy what you enjoy! As long as people are prepared to try new flavours and what not, that's all that matters.
Personally I would mix Ketel with coke, I think if you're mixing it with such a strong flavour like coke then you may as well use cheap shiz - but each to their own!

On topic - I've moved onto the talisker.

Topic ooooh love them mmmmm the hazlenuts....

Red Pig, Mexican Ale - Quite nice

Casablanca, moroccan beer - nice label horrendous beer

Ahleckz · 28 Oct 2012 at 00:21

A few of you have moaned about the Casablanca. I'll make sure not to try it!

Talisker for me. Last one. I promise.

~Divine~Wind~ · 28 Oct 2012 at 00:27

ITs got a really odd taste, can't quite place it its like erm musky :confused:

Smells pretty bland

I prefer darker stuff but don't mind lighter stuff from time to time, it's not often down a bottle due to how it tastses but the casablanca is now gone and will NOT be revisited lol

Accidentally opened my P entry.... really nice!

Rojin · 28 Oct 2012 at 00:58

Skinner's Betty Stogs, quite malty and easy drinking. I've drunk worse.

Harp Lager

Rotty · 28 Oct 2012 at 02:28

Just sat with a 750ml bottle of King Cobra and noticed the strength has dropped to 7.5%

Funniest joke i've heard in ages, good going Rotty!

just thought are you thinking of the US malt beer called King Cobra rather than the Indian stuff ?

DcD · 28 Oct 2012 at 02:34

Cusumano Nero D'avola, last bottle that survived my trip to Bracciano, Rome, earlier in the year.

Bloody love this wine, and it's so cheap!
