Absolut is marginally better
and Grey Goose is rather nice

I don't care for Absolut
the Stolichnya you get in supermarkets is probably the best of the cheap ones.

I tend to have vodka, lime and soda, which is quite nice even with a pretty cheap one.

I'm not a fan of whisky at all, although I can tolerate the peaty ones. I actually like the taste of vodka though, so will happily shell out for a bottle of 42 below or something.

Vodka is awesome.

The last bottle of Stolichnya
I got was alright. I'd never buy anything cheaper than that or Smirnoff (not exactly high standards.) Vodka, lime and soda is okay.

Whisky is lovely. I'd drink it as my drink of choice a lot of the time. Only single malt obviously

stoli from russia is much nicer
the blue and black smirnoffs are alright.

Not sure what I don't like about whisky. Not sure if it is the taste or not. I know it gives me indigestion, same as absinthe.

Had a Russian student
stay with us once who brought gifts of jars of black caviar, red caviar and the strongest and most expensive Russian vodka I have ever set my eyes upon.

Whisky is something that requires time occasionally. And a willingness to give different types a shot

oh man, I love caviar
and strong expensive russian vodka.

I will give it a go from time to time. I discovered last November that I don't mind Laphroaig, so I will continue my experiments in that region.

I love top-end spirits off all kinds
bar the Ouzo/Raki family which are unremittingly foul.

adding to snakebite black to make a black witch.

Bleugh. My tastebuds and aniseed are sworn enemies.

I tasted ouzo for the first time in Kos.

Foul!

bad experience?
or just natural
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 13 Sep 2010, 17:17, Reply)

Natural, unlikely as this sounds

same with me and the vile taste of cucumber
