Never had it before, oddly enough. As always with new spirits, straight up in a Glencairn glass.

Not really. I like trying new things since I am a liqour salesman, but I just bought one 50ml airplane bottle of ketel, so thats all i have.

even if I buy a full bottle of bourbon or something its 1-2 shots worth sipped in a night, and not every night.

to some people like perhaps Jen, this wouldnt even register as anything.

Ketel One and Russian Standard are the best vodkas for the best price IMO. Tito's is pretty good as well.

I know you arent supposed to drink vodka straight usually but thats how I do it now, so here we go.

it smells like...vodka, but not super harsh. not really a pleasant smell but there are far worse smelling vodkas out there. Not too good as describing smells but I get a hint of something else in there as well.

Ketel One vodka tastes a little harsh but not too bad, with some noticeable alcohol bite. I...don't really like this flavor at all. Its just straight up vodka. BUT it definitely isn't terrible, though. like its a step above smirnoff and shit it seems like.

I'd say this isn't super amazing but far from the worst. Probably not worth the money, IMO. I can't say how well it mixes but I bet it would be alright.

I think now I am going to go on a vodka taste test. Recently Ive only had two other vodkas besides this one(I do not count the shit I drank in college, which i dont even know what they tasted like besides nikola = ass), but there's so many i havent tried. absolut, ciroc, belvedere, smirnoff, grey goose, etc.

my vodka rankings, from top to bottom

I used to drink vodka, don't know why I stopped. More of a tequila man myself, with the occasional scotch whiskey. I just bought a bottle of 16yr Lagavulin, the Ron Swanson approved whiskey, just to see how it is. Not my favorite, too much smoke.

Brush up on your scotch regions(islay/islands, campbelltown, highlands, speyside) as they have their own characteristics. Then also look into what kind of casks or casks they were in, such as sherry casks will be sweet, ex-bourbon casks will be oakey, etc.

You realize I don't drink anymore, right? So any alcohol would be difficult for me.

So what does that have to do with me? I don't drink anymore. So drinking any amount of vodka would be difficult for me. Can you please stop bringing me up when it has to do it alcohol? I don't want some idiots to tag me.

Do Russians even actually drink vodka straight?

I've poured a few vodka rocks but 99% of the time, it's combined with a mixer.

Not actually that good, especially for the price. If you're going to try out a bunch of vodkas, Stolichnaya is good. Chopin is my favourite, but for the price I would never dare mix anything with it other than maybe just a hint of vermouth to make a martini.

I really just want to try a bunch of vodkas that are popular because I want to do product research because I sell alcohol for a living. ive heard gg is overpriced, and indeed one 50ml airplane bottle is 4.50 in my stores, but still i need to check it off the list. Wouldnt dream of buying a full 750 of it.

Now Chopin...I want to try it though i'd need to buy a 750 ml size. What does it taste like? I like potato vodkas, and indeed the #1 on my list is a potato vodka(boyd and blair) but sipping it neat it has hints of vanilla and butterscotch however no flavorings just potato.

I just love to go random and find my favorites that way. I tried the Lagavulin again with a blue cheese crusted steak and a cigar. Made it a hundred times better.
