Originally posted by kadomony if you can find it, Leeds Vodka will put hair on your chest. there's almost NO mention of it online whatsoever. it's THAT bad.

I drank that at least like once a week during my first semester at school. It really is some vile shit but you get used to it, like anything else.

I've never even seen it in stores here.. Funny.

Oh, and how does it matter what brand of vodka you mix with Sprite?

Because not all vodkas taste a like, simple. And if you argue and say when it's mixed it taste the same...you're wrong.

Originally posted by ******** Vodka tastes like poison/cleaning product.. but it does its job. I don't see it as a good mixer - I prefer sweet spirits for mixes like rum. sex on the beach was the only good vodka mix I've ever had (and it was tasty)

haha dude, that's funny coming from the guy eating poisonous mushrooms

The better vodka I have drank gives me less of a hangover. I dunno.. maybe its just me.

but that's not the only reason.

You aren't the only one.

Most (decent) vodka is made from wheat or rye. There's a common myth around that it's made from potatoes.. that is only true for a few crappier varieties out there (as well as самагонка - Russian, home-distilled moonshine). There is one premium lable that is made from potatoes (I could be wrong but I think it's Chopin).

You are correct about Chopin.

I'm friends with the guy who dreamed up the concept and started the company in Orlando... Chuck Zell. The vodka itself is excellent quality, no kidding.

Originally posted by gehzumteufel haha yeah. I had the $50 bottle of Jewel of Russia a month or so ago. Going to get the $90 bottle one of these days.

got one of the $90 bottles in my freezer... like 4 oz left. I don't want it to go (u can get that for $70 on line by the way)

Where?

Have you tried Zyr Vodka?

This one isn't bad either. I haven't had it in a long time, but not horrible.


And this one is pretty good chilled:

I had Zyr once a few years ago... I liked it from what I remember, but it's been too long and I've had too many other brands since then to give a real opinion. I've had a bottle sitting in my kitchen for 2 years and still haven't opened it. lol

BTW... go here for a massive list of on-line vodka at good prices---> http://www.missionliquor.com/Store/Qstore/Qstore.cgi

Unfortunately, the Jewel of Russia Ultra is $84 on there, but you can get Jean Marc XO for $49.99 which is a rediculous steal... and along with the J of R Ultra, the only brand IMO that can compete with Kauffman.

J of R for $74.99 here---> http://starwine.biz/store/index.php...5brb7ntdql81g07

I spend 20 dollars on a bottle of vodka and it taste the same as a 50 dollar bottle of vodka


Maybe because i make vodka and tonics with lots of lime....

that is my drink of choice. although there is no way a $20 vodka tastes like a $50 vodka.

Taste the same to me

yeah vodka is something i'd never spend more on.

i think the only reason people do it is just for appearances.

i mean how good do can it possibly be? it's fucking vodka, not a carpaccio of octopus

Definitely a big difference between low end vodka and good vodka... when the price gets really high I tend to think it's BS too.

Originally posted by nchs09 Taste the same to me

then you sir are lucky. i'm no connoisseur but 99.9% of the time i drink vodka tonics and i've come to the point where i can taste the difference. although i like my drinks hard so i'm mostly drinking vodka so it has to be decent for me to bear drinking it pretty close to straight.

I agree with Chimera... the more of it you drink, the more you can recognize the subtle differences, especially if you use little to no mixer.

Unless I'm at a nice restaurant, providing for special guests, or drinking it strait, I tend not to over-spend on the name. Just regular Stoli is my go-to bottle... and at any typical bar I'll just order Smirnoff with soda and lemon if I know I'll be ordering several drinks.

I can taste the difference as well, but to pay 100$ for a bottle of what is essentially the same stuff in a 15$ bottle is completely insane...

It also violates the proletariat spirit of the.... spirit.

I also prefer my vodka with a bite... Goose is too smooth.

I'm a bite kind of girl as well.

At least SOME people know what they're talking about when it comes to Vodka. When you're a vodka elitist you tend to notice difference between cheap and not so cheap. Different smell, different taste. I agree with buy cheaper bottles and still having the same effect as the 100 bottles but sometimes you just want to jazz it up a bit.
