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.

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.

I forgot to mention that if you find yourself on a Celebrity cruise ship, they offer Stoli Elit at the same price as Grey Goose even though it costs 2 to 3x as much at retail. A best buy :) Finding Jewel of Russia is a challenge..they have very thin distribution in the US.

For the record, it's Ketel.

"Kettle" sounds like the Ripple of Vodka :-)
