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.

hi, believe it or not the smoothest vodka I have ever tasted is dan ackriods ? new vodka that comes in a Cristal skull bottle. at a friends house i did a blind taste test with it against grey goose and two other very expensive vodkas , sorry I dont remember the others, but the first sip of the first shot of four , I looked at my friends and said , this must be the Cristal skull vodka, they said , way to fast buddy, taste the others first before you make that call ! so I did, and I still liked the first vodka best, it was just way smoother than the rest, and to my friends surprise I had indeed called out the Cristal skull on the first sip. well worth checking out !

A new contender. I heard about Sobieski Polish vodka and read up. It was given a 95 rating in taste tests by the Tasting Institute, better than my favs, Belvedere and 360 Vodka. I hadn't tried it because it seemed too cheap, $10.95 at Mission Spirits in Pasadena. I saw it at a store on sale for $7.95 and figured what the hell. Oh man is it tasty, smooth, clean, variegated hints of different flavors, non astringent. Top drawer, as good as I've tried yet.
