No such thing as a "good bottle of cheap vodka"

Good vodka doesn't have to be expensive, but I've never had cheap vodka that was good-tasting.

Good cheap vodka? Try Veil. Not at all harsh, very neutral* - Road Warrior 19:43:31 11/28/13 (13)

  is it the best?
  - It's very good. - Prisoners 18:48:48 11/29/13 (11)
    Hard to say any one brand is "the best" but Grey Goose is certainly a top shelf item. I'm happy with Stoli if I want to save a few bucks, but I'm certain I can tell the difference between the two. I'll no longer drink anything less than that though.

      I tried it. It is. However, as most of our vodka goes into White Russians, Veil works perfectly fine. It'd be a waste of good vodka to put the Enchanted Rock into it. Again, try Veil if you can find it. You may well be surprised.

      Veil vodka. It doesn't suck. (Open in New Window)

        ...Smirnoff is the usual winner.

        Unless you like your vodka to have some flavor or other.

        I wrote it off years ago as "premium" vodkas became all the rage. Another good, inexpensive vodka, recommended by daughter (bartenderess), is Monopolowa. Still, our "go to" mixing vodka, is Veil.

        ...as many as can pay for a big marketing campaign.
        
        Hanger One vodka is made near here.
        
        I stopped drinking the hard stuff about 10 years ago - a little beer and a lot of wine is all I drink now.

        All personal tastes, of course, but I never liked Smirnoff. If you want something inexpensive, but good (in my view...), try Wyborowa, it is very good. When properly chilled and served, it is excellent.

        ...solid state amplification vs tubes to me.
        
        And I like the flavor of tubes.

        Vodka, most definitely, is NOT a diluted alcohol.
        
        Vodka, unlike most hard liquors, traditionally is taken w/meals. I think, Vic, that's why - tinear 12:17:57 12/10/13 (0)

        it is ice-chilled: any vestige of taste would interfere with the delicate flavor of� caviar?

        I once brought him some real man's vodka, and that nearly killed him!

        Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem like straight shots of scotch, tequilla, or bourbon.
        Grey goose to me doesn't seem like straight drinking stuff. If that's one of the best maybe I better move on.
