Edit for spelling(no "e" in the vodka).

I have not found anything better than KetleOne - it's pricy but better than all the other I have tried.

Are you indicating this stuff is better????

J_DOGG, I just cracked it yesterday, i have KO at home too and I am a fan.

I need to do a taste test, but the Level was clean and really good.

Do you really like vodka?

For those long weeks, on friday I might crack the 100 proof Absolut, but also try Skyy, it is very reasonably priced, very clean and good!

Muck, do you shoot, sip or mix vodka?

Besides bloody mary’s on Thanksgiving, Christmas and camping….I really don’t have much of a taste for it.

My wife likes Absolut Current(SP?), sprite and a splash of grenadine….. That is so sweet you will think you are drinking Koolaid.

JDogg….I hear that KetelOne is good stuff, but again…I wouldn’t know one from the other….and when it is mixed into a bloody mary, might as well be Smiroff(SP?)… Laughing

I hate good vodka because its so easy to drink, before you know it you're waking up in the backseat of a car on the way to Mexico

No bloody marys??????

NO POWELL FOR YOU...........

Nothing like being roused out of a houseboat bunk by the smell of bacon and eggs............and a bloody mary made by yours truly.

DJew Jake · Posted: Feb 01, 2007 1:11 pm Post subject:

muckmeister, All vodka is good aslong as the word "smirnoff" is not on it haha.

DJew Jake · Posted: Feb 01, 2007 1:12 pm Post subject:

One is black cherry i havent had it yet. I dont like flavoured vodkas, but stoli vanilla is nice.

Jibsta, no smirnoff for me, and i am not a big fan of stoli, not bad, but prefer others!

High End-
Pearl
Grey Goose
Charbay
Hangar One

Mid level
Skyy
Stoli
267 Vodka
Ciroc (Grape based vodka)

Good Lower end-

Usually only drink the Effen. Never had much of a hangover on it so I stick with it. Hate the blackcherry flavor though.

Dpierce37, girlie loves olives, nice call! she is the martini drinker in the house.

muckmeister, yea I have had all the above, this stuff just kicks arse! Try a Three Olives Grape vodka with Diet coke! My usual is Vodka/tonic with a lime, so having a good vodka for the first couple drinks is nice!

Dpierce37, will be making a stop on the way home!

Blake · Posted: Feb 01, 2007 2:03 pm Post subject:

J-Ro, I agree with your list. Svedka, although cheap in price, is really a decent bottle.

How can we talk about vodka with out mentioning Austin's very own http://www.titos-vodka.com/

Tito's is actually pretty darn good and living here in Austin, you can get it pretty cheap!

Tito's Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs. It is micro-distilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it's well worth it. Our handcrafted technique offers more control over the distillation process, resulting in a spectacularly clean product of incomparable excellence. Only the heart of the run, "the nectar" is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols. The vodka is cleansed of phenols, esters, congenersand organic acids by filtering it through the finest activated carbon available. Critics call Tito's "a homegrown symphonic spirt to applaud!" and say "it can go head to head with any of the worlds' greats and not break a sweat."

Tito's Handmade Vodka won the prestigious Double Gold Medal having prevailed over 70 of the world's best premium vodkas, as the judges' unanimous Gold Medal choice, at The 2001 World Spirits Competition in San Francisco California.

Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas' first and only legal distillery. It's made in small batches in an old fashioned pot still by Tito Beveridge (actual name), a 41-year-old Geologist, and distilled six times.

I mix my vodka w/ too much crap for me to worry too much about the finer points of the flavor. I drink Tito's, Skyy, GG in my cocktails (usually Red Bull). Tito's if I buy for home/party. 3 Olives Berry w/ a splash of cran and splash of RB for my shots.

Never had Level, but we sell it at the booby bar.
