If a bar doesn't have any good vodkas, you can always count on it to have a bottle of Grey Goose. It's just fine with soda and makes a potable martini, but it's barely above house vodka with a premium price tag, in my opinion.

By good vodkas I assume you are referring to Smirnoff, Five O'Clock, and Arrow?

I don't think this one has been mentioned and it's a real winner in my book. Yes, it's one of the newer designer Vodkas but it is truly amazing.

Reyka which make in Iceland!

Although I don't care for Grey Goose, one of the most unique and best tasting Vodkas I have had is Jean Marc XO. Very different, a delicious sipping vodka that provides a nice change of pace.

I just pretend it isn't French when I drink it.

You are right sir! Goose has that smokey flavor that you don't find in other vodkas..smooth and beautiful! This is absolutely a sin to use as a mix! I can stomach 3 olive Vodka which is english...but nothing holds a candle to Goose. Dudes at the local liquor store tried to tell me Tito's out of Texas...man that stuff is crap!!!!!

Too each his own, I guess. I like Tito's, don't have any love at all for Grey Goose, and will take Stoli over either of them.

I must agree with Icehog3 to each his own!

Grey Goose, Opulent, 3 Olive, Ketel One, and so on are all designer Vodkas. That's not to say that they're bad, hell no, in fact Ketel One is one of my top favs, but they are creations of the modern age.

For a true classic, time honored Vodka it's hard to beat Stolichnaya Gold or even the standard version! I love the gold!

Default Re: I have finally found a vodka I like.

I dont have a whole lot of experience with vodka but I can say I dont like Smirnoff anymore. Ive only tried Gray Goose Vanilla cause that what the girls were drinkin and it wasnt bad but I dont like my vodka flavored like vanilla. The ones I do like are Skyy, Kettle One, and this cheap stuff called Alpine Blu which was soo good cold it was like drinkin water
