Jetscode1 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'll try "Americana" if I see it on the shelf or the next time I'm in NY/CT. Highly recommend Tito's if you see it on the shelf. http://titosvodka.com/titos.html Tito's Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas' first and oldest legal distillery. It's made in small batches in an old fashioned pot still by Tito Beveridge (actual name), a 45-year-old Geologist, and distilled six times. Tito's Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs. It is micro-distilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it's well worth it. Our handcrafted technique offers more control over the distillation process, resulting in a spectacularly clean product of incomparable excellence. Only the heart of the run, "the nectar" is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols. The vodka is cleansed of phenols, esters, congenersand organic acids by filtering it through the finest activated carbon available. Critics call Tito's "a homegrown symphonic spirit to applaud!" and say "it can go head to head with any of the worlds' greats and not break a sweat." Tito's Handmade Vodka won the prestigious Double Gold Medal having prevailed over 70 of the world's best premium vodkas, as the judges' unanimous Gold Medal choice, at The World Spirits Competition in San Francisco California.

Thor99 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The best domestic vodka is Hangar One, and it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHJF Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 You haven't lived the domestic vodka dream 'til you've tried LiV. Distilled on the North Fork of Long Island (wine country) using potatoes that have been grown on their own farm. http://www.lispirits.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Skyy Vodka is pretty good and it's domestic. Ciroc is probably the best premium domestic Vodka of them all. It's on par with Grey Goose and Belvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudu Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I approve this message, Ciroc surprised me how good it was. I was apprehensive at first about it because its synonymous with Diddy but I too was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was. it's good sh!t.

Goose and Belvedere are both horribly overrated. Stoli Elite blows them both out of the water. Ciroc is decent. Check out Imperia or Hangar One if you want smoothness. Imperia is especially dangerous, it's almost like drinking water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Grey Goose is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I dont think Grey Goose is overrated. For me, Goose is the Absolut of the 2000's. Horrible vodka with a great marketing campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudu Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 No way Goose>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Absolut. Absolut and Smirnoff are bottom self IMO. I actually prefer Svedka to both of these. Svedka is underrated but its really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, our default vodka that we always have in the bar...price is cheap enough I don't mind mixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly recommend Tito's if you see it on the shelf. http://titosvodka.com/titos.html Hey Jetscode, thanks for the recommendation about Tito's. I'll look for it around here. Spec's will probably have it. Sounds like everyone likes LiV, Ciroc, Hangar One, Svedka. So tell me, does anyone freeze their vodka, and then drink it straight? I see that on TV, but I don't want to waste a bottle by freezing it, if it's just some stupid fad. Curious how you all drink your vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your welcome and Spec's should have Tito's, at least ours does by the Forum. Hope to check out the some of the others recommended. We don't freeze the vodka although we have friends that do. Usually, just have vodka, tonic and splash of lemon. Occassionally, with the good stuff we make martinis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
