Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?

Many years a go I used to drink a vodka from Turkey named Izmira that was distilled from white beets. Wonderful!!!!!!!! Sadly no longer available in the U.S. I'm a big Belvedere fan. Slightly sweet and nuanced, but has a great vodka kick. Lately though I've discovered 360 Vodka. American made and so smooth. Almost too easy to drink. So, what's your vodka pleasure? And please, no testimonials to Popov. I know I know, something has to go in the brown paper bag, but if you have to get Kamchatka.

I am fond of Grey Goose. And while we are in the vicinity, so to speak, Plymouth gin is very pleasant. The New York Times published a study some time ago, and they maintained that Plymouth (made in Plymouth, England) is the best gin for martinis. I trust New York Times reviews more that I trust Stereophile reviews.

I tried the Debowa Polish oak vodka that Mariusz brought to a meeting once and it was superb. There's a little piece of oak floating in it that gives it a nice golden color.

I am a Belvedere fan, but this was just tasty. If you can find it you should try it.

Stoli elit and Jewel of Russia Ultra are both worth trying, but extremely expensive. Believe it or not, Tito's (texas) is extremely good as well, well worth trying (I always have a bottle in my freezer). Since restaurants carry none of the above, my preference is Kettle One.

And in fairness to Popov...it's as good as stoli elite in a bloody mary or a screwdriver :) I keep a bottle of whatever interesting is on sale...most recently, I've been using three olives in mixed drinks because they had a great deal going.
