Now Vox is supposed to be the shit, right?
I like Gray Goose and Belvedere. I think they buy thier bottles at the same bottle store, but they're really wonderful Vodkas.
I've got Kettle One and Absolute here at the house, they're ok, but not as smooth as the two mentioned above.

You can liven em up.
Do you find Ketel One Smooth, like Belevedere or Gray Goose (my only points of reference). I think it's a bit grainy sometimes, but I'm prissy. In fact, I'm gonna have some wine tonight, gotta dig into my collection of about 120 bottles and cull the herd.

I like Ketel and Belvedere alot. I think they are both very smooth. I am not a big fan of Grey Goose. It may be one of the best selling vodkas, but to me it has a little bite to it. I really noticed the difference between all these vodkas when I started drinking them on the rocks. Once you start mixing the top shelf vodkas with juice or something they pretty much taste the same.

A couple of years ago we went to Moabi with our "clique". A "crew" member was broke, but wouldn't admit it, so he mixed Cap'n Morgan and Coke in a huge insulated jug and swigged that bitch all day every day. He was toe up from dawn to dusk, and he didn't let on he did that cause it was cheaper than the 30 cases of beer he would have consumed for the same time period...

Damn, sorry for the thread jack. As far as Vodkas, I think 9 out of 10 peeps couldn't tell the difference in a mixed drink. I always pull top shelf or try to upsell for Cosmos, Lemon Drops etc....but for your average Joe who wants a Vodka Tonic or a Screwdriver, he will drink the well stuff and never know. The only obvious benefit to good Vodka is less of a hangover if you hit it hard.
One last thing, I know a lot of people get lost in the Vodka aisle and end up buying by price. The measurement of a Vodka's quality is how many times it is filtered. For some crazy reason the Vodka companies are caught up on odd numbers so you'll see 3,5,7 or even 9(expensive) times filtering. If I remember correctly, Absolut and those types are 5 and the upper shelf stuff like Goose and Belvedere are 7 times filtered. Try to find the info on the bottle if you can, or just go online to their website and see for yourself. No use spending a bunch of cash on a pretty bottle if there's crap inside.

History of Vodka
Vodka is a drink which originated in Eastern Europe. The name stemming from the Russian word 'voda' meaning water or, as the Poles would say 'woda.' The first documented production of vodka in Russia was the end of the 9th century, but the first known distillery at Khylnovsk was about two hundreds years later as reported in the Vyatka Chronicle of 1174. Poland lays claims to having distilled vodka even earlier in the 8th century, but as this was a distillation of wine it might be more appropriate to consider it a crude brandy. The first identifiable Polish vodkas appeared in the 11th century when they were called 'gorzalka' originally used as medicines.
During the Middle Ages, distilled liquor was used mainly for medicinal purposes, as well as being an ingredient in the production of gunpowder. In the 14th century a British Ambassador to Moscow first described vodka as the Russian national drink and in the mid 16th century it was established as the national drink in Poland and Finland.
In these ancient times Russia produced several kinds of vodka or 'hot wine' as it was then called. There was 'plain wine' (standard), 'good wine' (improved) and 'boyar wine' (high quality). In addition stronger types existed, distilled twice or more.
Since early production methods were crude, vodka often contained impurities, so to mask these the distillers flavoured their spirits with fruit, herbs or spices.
The mid 15th century saw the first appearance of pot distillation in Russia. Prior to that, seasoning, aging and freezing were all used to remove impurities, as was precipitiation using isinglass from the air bladders of sturgeons. Distillation became the first step in producing vodka, with the product being improved by precipitation using isinglass, milk or egg white.
Around this time (1450) vodka started to be produced in large quantities and the first recorded exports of Russian vodka were to Sweden in 1505. Polish 'woda' exports started a century later, from major production centres in Posnan and Krakow.
In 1716, owning distilleries became the exclusive right of the nobility, who were granted further special rights in 1751. In the following 50 or so years there was a proliferation of types of aromatised vodka, but no attempt was made to standardise the basic product.
Types produced included; absinthe, acorn, anisette, birch, calamus root, calendula, cherry, chicory, dill, ginger hazelnut, horseradish, juniper, lemon, mastic, mint, mountain ash, oak, pepper, peppermint, raspberry, sage, sorrel, wort and water melon.
A typical production process was to distil alcohol twice, dilute it with milk and distil it again, adding water to bring it to the required strength and then flavouring it, prior to a fourth and final distillation. It was not a cheap product and it still had not attained really large-scale production. It did not seek to compete commercially with the major producers in Lithuania, Poland and Prussia.
In the 18th century a professor in St. Petersburg discovered a method of purifying alcohol using charcoal filtration. Felt and river sand had already been used for some time in Russia for filtration.
The spread of awareness of vodka continued throughout the 19th century, helped by the presence in many parts of Europe of Russian soldiers involved in the Napoleonic Wars. Increasing popularity led to escalating demand and to meet this demand, lower grade products were produced based largely on distilled potato mash.
Earlier attempts to control production by reducing the number of distilleries from 5,000 to 2,050 between the years 1860 and 1890 having failed, a law was enacted in 1894 to make the production and distribution of vodka in Russia a state monopoly. This was both for fiscal reasons and to control the epidemic of drunkenness which the availability of the cheap, mass-produced 'vodkas' imported and home-produced, had brought about.
It is only at the end of the 19th century, with all state distilleries adopting a standard production technique and hence a guarantee of quality, that the name vodka was officially and formally recognised.
After the Russian Revolution, the Bolsheviks confiscated all private distilleries in Moscow. As a result, a number of Russian vodka-makers emigrated, taking their skills and recipes with them. One such exile revived his brand in Paris, using the French version of his family name - Smirnoff. Thence, having met a Russian ŽmigrŽ from the USA, they set up the first vodka distillery there in 1934. This was subsequently sold to a US drinks company. From this small start, vodka began in the 1940s to achieve its wide popularity in the Western World.
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, a number of Russian refugees took their skills and their love of vodka to many parts of the world.
In the 1930s one such exile emigrated from Russia via France to the United States briningg with him the formula to one of the leading Russian makes of vodka. Through his dealings with another Russian emigre the first vodka distillery in the U.S. was set up in the 1930s. Although not particularly successful at first, this enterprise was sold on again to an entrepreneur who eventually made a hit in the 1950s with a vodka-based cocktail - the Moscow Mule.
Vodka did not see a great boom in popularity in the West until the 1960s and 1970s when many more brands were launched in the USA and the UK. The timing coincided with the cultural revolution in these countries - the 'swinging 60s.' With a more affluent younger generation and a generally more relaxed lifestyle and the emphasis on adventure and experimentation - vodka's mixability led to its huge and ever rising popularity. Vodka cocktails are almost as numerous as those of gin and are seen in the same exclusive circles and stylish bars the world over.

I think it's more about the water and the filtering. You could probably ferment it with about anything.

There's nothing wrong with Stoli. Like I said, in a taste test I'd be willing to bet 9 out of 10 peeps couldn't tell the difference. In a bar, Stoli is actually an upsell. And Debbolas, Potatoes were the original ingredient but now you can make it from just about any vegetable. I use the cheap stuff because I make girly drinks mostly.

Pravda Vodka is luxury vodka from Poland now available in America for the first time in limited quantities. Dating back to 1743, Pravda has been produced in the heart of the world renowned vodka producing area of Southern Poland. Production facilities are located in the pristine carpathian mountain district of Bielskobiala. It is made in small batches under the strict guidance of sixth generation master distiller, Aleksandra Kulak.
Pravda vodka encompasses the best of each element of production. The ingredients found in Bielsko-Biala are simply the finest in the world. The carpathian mountains produce the purest spring water. The wielskopolska fields of sweet, late harvest rye are untreated and natural, giving a softer, mellower taste. Pravda is made with a unique five step distillation process. There is no other vodka custom made with such passion and care. Pravda vodka is the smoothest, purest vodka ever produced.

Chopin Polish Vodka (http://www.chopinvodka.com) is distilled 4 times from potatos and is my #1 choice, followed by Grey Goose. Smooth and never a hangover. I would never mix it up with oj or cranberry, etc. Martinis only. For mixed vodka drinks I go with Absolut or Stoli.
Once I learned Grey Goose was made in France, I NEVER bought it again!
