    I don't think we've covered this in "it's" own thread yet.

    What's your favorite?

    Really don't have a favorite, in high school/college I drank whatever I could get my hands on. Usually Smirnoff, or Dobra, I believe it was called. $10 for like a gallon. LOL. After the first cup it went down smooth. ;)

    It's been so long since I've sipped vodka, I'm thinking of picking up a bottle tonight.

    I prefer potato based to grain, however, if you must, VOX is a cut above other wheat based vodkas.

    Too many crappy vodkas with great bottles out there, unfortunately, with Grey Goose being the most notoriously bad.

    I like Grey Goose, it's not bad. Kind of pricey though, usually I pick up Ketel One. I DON'T like Belvedere, it tastes like kerosene to me.

    I like potato based as well... having said that I've found Ketel One and Chopin to be very good. Stolichnaya still does in a pinch.... Absolut to me is like drinking rail...

    Vox is very smooth. It is distilled 5 times. Almost like water.

    Very smooth texture without that annoying burn. When I can't get Russkia Standardt at the bar I'll take Stoli.

    +1 French Vodka? Never heard of it.

    I bring a few bottles back whenever I am in Poland.

    Usually at a bar, I'll order Belvedere or Chopin.

    Ended up getting a bottle of Kettle one. I wasn't looking to spend much more than $20. It was on discount at Specs for $22 for 750ml I believe.

    Good stuff.

    LOL, thanks. I couldn't remember back to that 8 year old memory. Many terrifying and hilarious memories from that one plastic handle. Two friends and I almost knocked it out, maybe we did, in one night last semester of senior year of high school. Good times!

    Well, Finlandia of courese. It tastes.... Blue..

    Seriously, considering that I only drink vodka shots chilled, so I think the emotional attachment matters more than the subtle difference in taste.
