Holy crap that is some good vodka.

Never been a fan of vodka as i normally am a scotch drinker or gin if im mixing, but this one something else.

Anyone else a fan of that brand?

I've never had the pleasure of Stoli gold....

However.... this is the nicest stuff I have ever tasted:

I'm the same as you Nils, normally a Scotch drinker.... but Żubrówka is just.... vodka sex in a bottle.

Stick it in the freezer for a few days.... pour it in a small, thick glass.... let it sit for a few minutes... and just breathe it in before you drink it.

It smells like a freshly cut field of spring-rain wet grass. That sounds stupid, but it's entirely true.

Don't mix it... just drink it like a Scotch. Let it sit and open up on your tongue.

Phwoah... heaven.

Hahaha. You'd probably be better off asking people that aren't on the other side of the planet, mate.

I thought stoli was a fairly big brand over in the states. During the cold war alot of it went over from russia in exchange for Pepsi. Stoli has an interesting story if you look at wikipdeia.

Sorry Nils. I prefer Wyborowa or Chopin. A good vodka is colorless and odorless......NO FRUITY JUNK! Being a vodka drinker, I've had my share of many kinds from Rye, Wheat, Potato, and a mixed blend. Some are naturally sweet and great for mixing drinks. Others are best served chilled and straight up.

In the US, the growing fad is Croc and Grey Goose. Most bar vodka is Smirnoff or Skyy. IMHO, Skyy is not a bad vodka but it's because of the filtration and not this distillation process that makes it an OK vodka.

I suggest you try the Chopin and tell me what you think. Here's an old article I found about vodka: http://www.slate.com/id/2106004

Stoli is colorless and oderless. No fruity junk. Its one of the purest around.

Don't get me wrong. I think Stoli is an excellent vodka. It's a wheat vodka. Trust me when I say try the Chopin (or Belvedere for that matter). You won't be disappointed.

Dont think i can get that over here without a specal order obie. Cant say ive seen it.

Stolichnaya could be considered as ok/good except being Russian give it an automatic 90% malus.

So it's likely to taste and smell lake a Septic tank

wich make it better than Absolut Vodka.

Wyborowa ,Belvedere ,Żubrówka and grey goose are my choice

Not to be rude but titos is only distilled in Texas, they bring in all the materials from out of state. I was pooped when i heard it too, this is a vodka that actually made from scratch in Dripping Springs, Texas. http://www.drippingspringsvodka.com/

I use to drink titos a while back but now im stuck on Russian Standard. http://www.russianstandardvodka.com/#/en/
