Your vodka of choice?
 
I am currently tasting a bottle of Ultimat Vodka that I got for free to sample. It is very smooth, and I am comparing to my long time favorite Ketel One.

Has anyone else tried this vodka? I must say it is very good indeed.

What are your favorites?

Belvedere is the best bang for the buck IMO.

I just started drinking a new vodka, Primo, it is made from Malbec grapes and it is fantastic.

I buddy introduced me to Ultimat Vodka and it's hands down the best vodka that I've tried (I admit that I'm fairly new to good vodka). He also recommeded stoli elite, but I haven't tried that one yet.

Youri Dolgoruki is a favorite of mine. Ciroc for a change of pace.

Chopin Vodka is by far my favorite.

Currently on a Luksusowa kick and have been since going to Poland recently. Good, clean, and it's cheap. Hard to beat that combo.

Edit: Another decent (and super duper cheap) one that I've had here and a ton of in Poland is Sobieski. Not as good as Luksusowa but you can get a handle of it for less than a decent cigar and it mixes just fine.

Luksusowa has now replaced all the more expensive vodkas I used to keep in the freezer. I actually prefer the taste of it (which is truly all that matters) and would still buy it at a much higher price.

Edit2: My true favorite is probably Zubrowka (the Polish one made with bison grass, which is illegal to import to the US--the version they sell here is crap).

Edit3: Wow, looks like I've become a Polish vodka whore :r

Ketel One is good. Good price too.

I drink Svedka. :D If I want something a little more refined, I will buy belvedere. But not very often. I only buy nice vodka when making martinis.

My girlfriend doesn't care what kind of vodka she drinks, so for her it's whatever is on sale for 9.97 for a half gallon :eek:

So what do you do with the vodka while pouring the gin? ;)

bwahahahaha... yeah, yeah... :D

Never been a fan of gin martinis. I know they are the "purist" martini. :D

Just bustin' on ya, Peter. :D

I am one of those "purists". :al
Enjoying one right now, as a matter of fact.

Don't get me wrong. I like vodka, too. Even shaken over ice and served in a martini glass with a twist (lemon or lime).

what, a vodka topic and no Tom?

Only vodka I keep in the fridge is wybrovka, with bison grass just like the Zubrowka James likes so much.

I like gin martini's as well. I really think gin is an acquired taste tho, I remember the first time I had gin I wanted to spit it out right away.

That said, I am by no means a purist, I enjoy both vodka martini's and gin martini's from their own respective stance.


Also, I made up my decision, Ultimat is hands down the best Vodka I have ever tasted. Get yourself a bottle or order some at a bar if you see it. On the rocks this baby shows its true eliteness.

Titos or Svedka when I'm slummin', Kettle One when I'm ballin'. :D
