(Scroll down about 1/2 way down the linked page.)
Our theory is that a simple brita water filter can be used to make bad vodka, into good. In our case this meant turning a Vladimir™, into a Ketel One™. At $11.09 for 1.75 liter (Ketel is 11.99 for the 350 ml), Vladimir is a steal. It is, however, painful to drink, has a repugnant aftertaste, posesses a bouquet reminiscent of rubbing alcohol. Our working theory was that these terrible qualities were caused by a lack of proper filtration, and that running our Vlad through a charcoal filter would remove some of the impurities causing these odors and flavors.
Materials
Bottle of cheap and/or nasty vodka. The cheapest price per volume was selected from the liquor store. In our case, this turned out to be “Vladimir Vodka™".........

Thats what I figured was going to happen. I have read a bunch of positive results on another board though.

Interesting idea. I guess it would work in theory. It's quicker to buy a good bottle though. :)

kinda reminds me of the Jack Daniels distillery and the huge charcoal filtering process they have.
it makes sense that filtering can improve the taste. however it looks like wayyyyy more trouble than it's worth. i'll stick to grey goose for now...
