Vodka Drinkers of OcUK - Spec me a Vodka

[Atari]

Hi all,

I'm a gin drinker and not really a big vodka drinker at all so please excuse my ignorance. I'm looking to purchase one of my good friends a decent bottle of vodka for a Christmas get together but I'm struggling to find one that he'll appreciate.

At current, he's a big Grey Goose fan which is pretty smooth from my experience (or lack thereof ) and is a bit of a collector too - he's got one of the 6l bottles and some of the various flavored variants.

With that in mind, what would be a good bottle to get him (other than another bottle of GG ) please? My budget is up to about £75.

I've seen the GG Cherry Noir online but finding a bottle here is difficult to say the least.

Thanks.

Thanks all - I've seen the Crystal Head stuff in my local off license but wasn't sure if it was a gimmick or actually worth trying! Will probably opt for a bottle of that.

Get him some Smirnoff gold, because it is a really, really, manly drink. Crystal head is nice, everything tastes better when it comes from an unsavory vessel.

Hit a slight bump on this one, looking at his facebook pics, he's already got the Crystal Head and has already had Smirnoff Gold I'm starting to think he's an alcoholic.

The Black Cow vodka looks like it might be a refreshing change and something different so may try that.

Snow queen.

That looks pretty good actually, I'm pretty sure he's not had it before - the Black Cow might be a little too 'different' for him.

I did initially see the reviews for Chase but I'm 100% sure he's had a bottle of it in the past.

Thanks for the suggestions Made my life a lot easier

Another shout is Zubrowka it's a polish bison grass vodka and probably one of the smoothest if not the smoothest I have ever drunk.

I've seen that mentioned quite a bit during my research - does the flavour differ between say this and GG/Bel?

What about Belvedere vodka

It's certainly a good shout, though if he's an avid GG drinker, I'm certain he'll have tried Bel at least a few times I was hoping to grab him something he's not previously had.

i Shall say it again... Black Cow Vodka.... its made from milk for gods sake!!!!!

Shall be picking up a bottle of this over Xmas

I'd love to know what this stuff tastes like personally, may even grab a bottle for myself over Christmas
