I think rum and rye lovers would disagree...

Tasted pretty much everything there is. Straight or on the rocks, nothing bets vodka. When you get to coctails, then it gets hazy.

vodka:
is my misstress, I have been repeatedly domestically abused by this women, but her sleek sexy curves, smoothe taste, and heavenly aroma never fails to leave me intoxicated at her beauty. No matter how many times she smacks me to the floor, I always keep coming back.

Belvedere and Grey Goose are my fav of the vodkas, although for regular priced vodka, it's skyy all the way.

cabbage rolls:
Polish cabbage rolls pale in comparison to the southern slavs and their cabbage rolls. Try cabbage rolls made by Serbs, or Croats, and you'll see what I'm talking about. MMMMM!

pickles:
suck. I can't stomach them, and the thought of smearing their taste over gorgeous misstress vodka doesn't appeal to me.

Alright. Someone bring me polish, ukrainian and serbo croat cabbage rolls so that I can judge which taste better. (with a side of vodka plz)

Originally posted by Wikipedia Many vodka consumers claim they can tell a difference in taste between different brands. To test this ability the ABC News program 20/20 [1] conducted a non-scientific survey of 6 individuals aged 21-40 who sampled 6 different brands of vodka. There were 5 different super premium vodkas ($30-$60, 750ml, 2005) and a mid-priced vodka, Smirnoff ($13, 750ml, 2005). At the beginning of the survey the participants were asked to name their favorite vodka brand; four individuals chose Grey Goose ($30, 750ml, 2005). After sampling each of unmarked vodka samples "straight up", five of the six testers chose the same vodka as their least favorite sample. They were all surprised to discover that they had selected Grey Goose. When the 6 brands were mixed into a cosmopolitan mixed drink (3 parts vodka, 1 part triple sec, 1 part lime juice, & 1 part cranberry juice) they were mostly unable to differentiate between the brands. The suggestion was made to select the 'house' or inexpensive vodka next time one orders a vodka based drink. In another recent blind tasting done by New York Times food and drinks critics, classic Smirnoff topped the list; second and third were vodkas from Poland.

Deep fried pickles + Vodka. Yes girl.

at pravda, my favourite vodka bar in the history of the universe ever, they give you free pickles and rye bread little niblet things when you order a drink.

that is all.

Iceberg Vodka...Canadian, affordable...amazing.

ass-hole burn!, no i mean it literally

Yes, I can see that being true.

But the mark of a good vodka is it's taste at room temperature. And to be honest, as with most premium vodkas, the room temperature taste is far more palitable than the regular priced stuff. The goal of vodka is to lack any taste at all when cold, so by definition, most vodkas taste the same when served in mixed drinks or given on the rocks, the main reason why vodka is the most versatile of all the bar liquors. But it is when you've left your drink out for half an hour, and it gets warm do you really notice the difference.

Secondly, above the premium brands of vodka there are the very special types in which you get a slight flavour in the aftertaste based on how it's prepared. The best of which I'd tasted only at room temperature, I don't recall which brand [although it was imported from poland I was told, and not readily available here], and at 55%, it burned pretty good, but I could definitely taste a fruity/nutty aftertaste making it a very pleasant warmly served hard alcohol beverage.

Comparing vodkas at warm temperatures is how to distinguish between the quality of brands.....Try comparing bevedere to absolut, and you'll see exactly what I mean. Even if they do taste almost identical when served over ice.

I don't call vodka my misstress for nothing

Hit it right on the mark. When it comes to the premium vodka's then they have to be at most at room temperature, or a little cooler (like I prefer). If they're ice cold then it's pretty hard to tell the difference. With vodka though, it's not about taste (since vodka is actually tasteless), but about the aftertaste and aroma of it. It's what you experience AFTER you take the shot, and this is what seperate's crap vodka like Smirnoff, Absolut, and so on from the good vodka like Wyborowa, Stoly, and the premium's of Chopin, Grey Goose and Belvedere. It's not like beer where it's easy to tell the difference between Canadian and Carlsberg.

There's also a new brand of Wyborowa out, called Single Estate. They're going after the "premium" market, against Belvedere and Grey Goose. It's sitting by my TV right now, which I may bust out on NYE.

From what I've read, it has "aromas of vanilla, marshmallow and fresh baked rye, plus a creamy, lush palate that's toasty and elegant from front to back, Wyborowa's Single Estate Vodka is the complete package."

did someone say "almost post"?

Margs, sorry to hijack this thread, but Jems...please tell me what "almost post" means!!! (and Margs--you know, don't you?)

Mmmmmmmmm I could see the two going together. I can only eat pickles by themselves though...combined with anything foodwise =
