I don't see what's wrong with liking the taste of it anyway
just because of what it is

it's not like anyone is saying it doesn't taste of anything

But that's my exact point, vodka has no flavour. I don't see the point of drinking normal vodka when you get the same ethanol hit plus other notes from, say, a rum or a gin. Same goes for things like Zubrovka (bison grass) which I do enjoy!

it does have a flavour
are you saying that water doesn't have a flavour? ethanol certainly seems to have a flavour.

It's rare that I'll drink neat vodka, it'd have to be something like 42 Below to make it worthwhile, but I like how the taste of it blends with stuff like lime and soda.

Mamont is good and comes in a funky bottle, Snow Queen is excellent
There's a Scottish vodka called Pincer made with milk thistle and elderflower that is fantastic.

I've got a mate who's a real vodka buff and I tend to get him some really obscure ones and sit around drinking them with him.

the Irish make a decent one called Boru
not a really pricy one, but much nicer than the usual stuff.
