I have never really tasted a vodka that tasted good.

Though I have heard cheap vodka is just distilled alcohol from something cheap to almost 100% then just flavored like vodka. If that is true, I would love to try a nice expensive vodka.

I really liked the Vodka that the Soviets were trading when the Wall came down. You got to watch the cheap imports though. Place a drop of yellow food dye in a shot, if it turns green, there is methonol in the mix and some of the blue dye is still there. Way Russians get by with shipping 'alcohol' into US without taxes. Ship it in as 'antifreeze, redistill the methanol(blue dyed) out and you are left with ethonol, cheaper than paying the taxes.

I'll answer this:

Seriously smooth. Chill it down to near freezing and it tastes like warming ice water. The one pictured is the "platinum" edition which is run through charcoal 4x (just like their regular) and then 2x through silver filters.

One of the few true Russian vodkas you'll find on the market here in the US. Distilled in St. Petersburg, it's a post-soviet beverage that simply puts most other vodkas to shame. It's considered "expensive" by Russian standards (a buddy of mine and his friends used to pay their drivers and interpreters in it when they were on a metalworking trip to St. Petersburg about 5 or 6 years back) but it's a cheap-to-mid-range price here in the US. I paid $25 at the state ABC store for the liter shown there.

Still don't really like vodka that much.

That and tequila are just not my liquors.

note to self....visit tallen...get drunk...enjoy wva....ok done.

For the price, Polar Ice can't be beat.  About $12 for a 750ml.

See, for me tequila doesn't hit me like other liquors. I can do shot after shot and not have it hit me for quite some time. If I do that with bourbon or scotch or vodka, I'm three sheets much much earlier.

I've found out that you only ever want to drink something that someone made in their back yard if you're in the following states:

WV, NC, VA, PA, GA, SC, AL, TN, KY.

Lol, then why have it? Afraid of drinking traces of anti-freeze after reading OS's post?
