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.

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.

Try going to Alcoholics Anonymous and spend your $$ on audio. Alcohol is a rapacious creditor...plus you will enjoy your music much better having better components.

Jafo100,

on he contrary, a couple of glasses of Vodka makes those radio shack speakers sound wonderful....and it's far cheaper to buy good vodka than to replace those $35 speakers with $35,000 ones.

As I sip some Ciroc while writing this, I will say that I am very fond of the French grape vodka. I also love Ketel. It doesn't get enough respect in my opinion. Haven't seen any Zyr posts. Used to love it, but been going with the Ciroc lately. As far as the Svedka goes, I use it in my vodka tonics and that is as far as I will go....don't see what all the hype is about, frankly. I'm getting a lot of ideas from you guys though. Thanks.
