Yeah, vodka really has no flavor to speak of. If you're looking to really enjoy alcohol, switch to whiskeys - maybe bourbon or scotch - or gin, but vodka's best mixed with other drinks or with lame fruit flavors added.

whiskey is good but i havent had bourbon. (hint im underage) only by one year though so my rents let me drink
Never had GG. But I do have some Smirnoff Vodka here. Says triple distilled, tastes absolutely terrible. I found some other brand that I can't even remember, it's like a dollar more but it tastes much better.
Speaking of GG, where do you all find this? The stores I've been to in CA don't seem to have it. Wal-Mart etc.

Same man, minus the parents letting me drink part :P Im only 16, so I guess it makes sense.
I hate whisky. Only time Ive ever thrown up. It taste THAT bad.

Vodka TRUE vodka has no taste its all most pure alcahol unaged in oak barrels nearly all the taste that comes in whiskeys/bourbons is from the charred oak barrels.
This man knows where its at. It's smooth with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Never use this as a mixer, it's too good for that. I usually just have it on the rocks.

Grey Goose is by far the best vodka out there. Don't let others fool you. If Grey Goose is top shelf vodka, Absolut is the shelf below it. DON'T GET ARISTOCRAT! It's like $12 dollars for a handle but it tastes like gasoline.
Vodka doesn't taste. Vodka = Ethanol (pure alcohol) + water. That's all. There should be no difference between brands of vodka, apart from strength. Although I can definately say avoid "Vodkat". It's half strength vodka (About 20% ABV) but it tastes like they halfed it's strength using glue.
There's a bar in London called Garlic Shots that infuses vodka with chilli and garlic and mixes it with tomato juice, they call it the Bloodshot! It's the best stuff ever.
If you want a vodka with taste then go for the Polish, Zubrowka which comes with a blade of Bison Grass in the bottle.
Wyborowa and the Russian Stolichnaya are also good.
I am generally only game enough to try it once I am already wasted...unfortunately itgenerally pshes me from the nice fun drunk stage straight to the waking up the next morning/afternoon not knowing where the hell i am phase. It is quite a nasty beast
This thread made me pick up a bottle of Grey Goose today. I already had a bottle of Kirov in the cabinet which I use to make White Russians and the occasional Screwdriver. Jebus, Grey Goose has gotten more expensive though. I paid 520 NOK, that's 74 US dollars.
Um...I don't drink vodka to taste it. I drink it to get drunk. Therefore, I buy Polar Ice. It's a huge fucking bottle for super cheap, and it gets you drunker than Hell. Better yet...it's a huge fucking bottle, and it's super cheap!!!

Well, hey, if it's back I might as well plug my favorite.
Soft Tail is excellent, although my opinion may be touched by the fact they make it twenty minutes from my house using apples picked three hours further.
Their grappas are superb as well.
EDIT: I find it suspicious that @krin has only posted on the forums three times and always about Grey Goose vodka. Humans tend to have multiple hobbies, right?
I'v read that running cheap vodka through a Brita filter actually can make it better, never tried it myself as im more of a whiskey guy but would be interested to know if it works.
You people are monsters for A) posting in an almost five year old thread, and B) for not having mentioned Tito's yet, which is the best vodka for my money.
