[althekillr]

stoli gold is my favorite vodka. fantastic for vodka martini's.

 

[St. Lou Stu]

Rain Vodka the best, hands down.:tu

 

[Padron42]

Sobieski is where it's at for cheap but good. :gn:chk

Have to put in another vote for Finlandia when I am drinking it straight or in vodka and tonics. Any rotgut will work for heavier mixed drinks.

Stolichnaya- It's actually from Latvia..so it's got to be good

Glad I found this, Stoli all the way

I don't think it's been mentioned yet so I'll toss it out there - Tito's Handmade Vodka (out of Austin, TX) is supposed to be AMAZING!

BOTL's in Texas should look it up - In addition, if anybody out that way can arrange to ship a bottle to Fla, PM me - I'd be much obliged.

I tried a russian vodka a couple of years ago, I think the name is "Brilliant".
Really good.. almost as good is "Standardt" and next in line is "Flagman".

All russian.. Absolut doesn't even come close.

Of course, I'm only talking about when drinking it straight, for mixing anything works, even smirnoff.

Some people around here like it a lot.
I tried it once and thought it was nothing special...

Svedka Vodka - not expensive but doesn't taste cheap. Distilled 6 times - nice n smooth.

Tito's is excellent in my opinion, been through a couple pints and a couple fifths, mostly thanks to a Hasselhoff outta Texas. It has quite a different flavor from Stoli, and I think it would be a matter of individual taste whether one liked it or not.

I'm bummed I didn't get to vote, but Belvedere has my vote allllllll the way.

Russky Standart or Flagship for me, if drinking it neat. If mixing, pretty much anything that doesn't taste like methanol and leave you blind in the morning works for me, but since I'm from Finland, I'll say Finlandia. :tu

Stoli. Simply a classic.

 

[DavenportESQ]

I have had a lot of different types and one of my all time favorites is Reyka. Its from Iceland and filtered through lava rocks. It has a very distinct flavor. Besides that I am a Ketel 1 guy myself.

Russians don't drink Stoli, that should be an answer in itself. Russian crowd in USA is either Grey Goose or Russian Standard or its upscale brother, Imperia. In Russia itself, quality and taste are measured by any vodka made by Krystal factory in Moscow (as well as Russian Standard/Imperia factory). Moskovskaya is another staple, dating back to Soviet times and is still popular with those who cannot afford the upscale products.

Of small production, high end vodkas, try Beluga, it is rapidly gaining ground in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Not cheap and made in limited amounts every year, its really well made.

I am a tequila and cognac drinker (besides wine), but when I do drink vodka (once in a blue moon), I agree with the poster above, Ketel 1 is excellent martini style.
