Re: To all those Vodka Martini Fans

I've tried recently:
Dolgoruki - seemed good but not great - need to try it again though.
Citadelle - pretty good, it may have tasted similar to Hangar One but I don't remember for sure.
Olifant - pretty darn good for a cheaper vodka, I would definitely reach for this or Fris for a cheaper vodka.
Grey Goose - hadn't had it for a couple of years. Same as always - incredibly smooth but borderline boring.
Level - pretty good, a bit on the salty side
Crater Lake - another good but not great one
Tito's - edit: oh yeah, bought a bottle of this to take to the shack. I thought it was nothing special.

one of these days I'm going to write down better tasting notes for the bottles I have on hand...

I like that one. And it has a cool bottle.

Sorry bout that James..... whoops My bad bro.

Yeah I was completely underwhelmed by it and probably still have some sitting around in a cupboard somewhere LOL

Also ended up trying the SYN brand of vodka and was only slightly impressed. This brand gets talked up by a lot of yuppies where I live and it doesn't live up to the hype. Just so's you know.

I bow down in the presence of all the knowledge there.... thanx for letting me try the good wine Jack

Anyway, on to the Vodka. Tried some of the Three Olives stuff.... and it was nothing to write home about, absolutely rubbing alcohol type quality. Sorry Croatan but I wasn't impressed.

Tried the Danzka and it was good shit! Nice mellow flavor but not as clean as some others listed earlier in this thread.

Been drinking a lot of Pravda and Armadale lately and the other night Echo and I went out for drinks at the local Martini Bar but they were out of all the premium Vodka's so I had to settle for Ketel One. Not bad but not my first choice by any means.

So what have you monkeys been drinking?
WhassamattaU? No props for this one?

That "smoke" was pretty weird!
SoCal 7 was so freakin' hot, ANYTHING over ice would've been good.

I must admit it was quite strange. Freaked me right the hell out actually. Never seen an alcohol do that before.... weird!

SoCal was a bit warm for most's tastes but I've gotta say it was 100% better than the AZ desert and besides I was with good friends in good company drinking good Vodka and smoking KILLER cigars.

Re: To all those Vodka Martini Fans

I'm a big Vodka fan myself, and since nooner gifted me some Tito's, I have been hooked. Another small market Vodka to try is Shakers.
