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.

Tubeking is correct.

I am not a vodka enthusiast, but I defer to the Russians.

Russian Standard Platinum was recommended as the best to me by very, very, very rich Russian friends.

For the longest time, it was impossible to find in the US, but now seems to be a bit more widely distributed.

Beware - many of the candidates mentioned above are the vodka equivalent of the B&W Nautilus speaker - mediocre performance in pretentious, overpriced, silly packaging.

Cheers,

Hey there, Mjwpicman - a guy at the State store also recommended Sobieski. He says it is rye-based. In any case, got some...it's good. Has body, flavor and is smoothe. Not to mention a very nice price.

My pleasure Ghosthouse. And while I'm at it let me also recommend Apilaszkiewicz's choice, and with a name like that he should know, of Wyborowa. I'd forgotten about Wyborowa, pronounced Vebarova, and how good it really is. We're having fun now, aren't we. Except for Rnm4 I guess.
