What Redditors are Saying

Best Vodkas to Try

Popular and Highly Recommended Brands

Several vodka brands frequently appear in discussions as top recommendations. Tito's is a standout favorite, often mentioned for its smoothness and quality [2:1][2:2][2:4]. Grey Goose also receives praise for its premium quality, making it a popular choice among vodka enthusiasts [3:1]. Belvedere is another brand that garners positive reviews, especially for those seeking a higher-end option [4:2][4:8].

Value and Taste

For those looking for good value without compromising on taste, Sobieski is highly recommended. Despite being considered a mid-shelf vodka, it has been favored in blind taste tests over more expensive brands like Grey Goose and Reyka [4:1][4:3]. Stoli is also noted for its excellent price-to-quality ratio [4:4].

Potato Vodkas

If you're interested in potato vodkas, Boyd & Blair is praised for its exceptional taste [5:1]. Monopolowa is another favorite, known for its affordability and decent quality [5:3]. Chopin, a well-regarded potato vodka, is often mentioned for its smoothness and is available in different varieties, including a high-proof rye version [5:4][5:7].

Unique and Specialty Vodkas

Reyka and Haku are highlighted for their unique flavors and smooth profiles, offering something different from traditional vodka experiences [1:1][1:3]. Ultimat, a blend of grain and potato distillate, is noted for its creamy texture and distinct taste [1:2].

Personal Preferences and Recommendations

Ultimately, personal taste plays a significant role in choosing the best vodka. Some individuals prefer the stronger, more robust flavors of certain vodkas, while others seek out smoother, milder options [3:3][4:6]. Experimenting with different brands and types can help you find the perfect match for your palate.

Not sure how these are really "Luxury Brands". I've tried a bunch. Zubrowka Vodka which seems to be on here a lot. Reyka, Haku and Crystal Head. I think I tried Mamont at a bar...but it's a cool bottle.

drinksdrinker · 6 years ago

Seems to be pretty much a rehash of most of the other "best vodka you need to try once" lists out there. "Luxury" is probably just tacked on so people don't think of this list as lowbrow. That said, a lot of these are really good. Especially love Reyka and Haku.

I'm starting to branch out, previously I had drunk a bunch of Captain Morgan and Kraken, but I'm starting to learn that those are actually really low quality. I've gotten myself a bottle of Plantation 3 star I haven't cracked open yet and am considering making my own infused spiced rum for drinking, but I jould probably do some straight rum first as a baseline.

People literally think it's shitty because it's mid/bottom shelf. I had a dozen friends over for martini taste test and Sobieski was picked 9 of 13 pics for best flavor. I had Grey Goose, Reyka, Svedka, and Belvedere. All blind tested with discerning vodka drinkers.

Stoli is definitely should be moved up a notch due to price/quality ratio. Belvedere should be at B.

I'm a beer drinker mostly but worrying at the beginning of COVID, I bought a case of Sobieski not knowing how bad it was going to be. I'm halfway through my 2nd bottle and honestly, it's the best vodka I've ever had. I can drink it in late night shots before bed and it's so drinkable.

Monopolowa is my current favorite potato vodka and it’s quite cheap. I do think it gives me a slight hangover but not as bad as what I used to get with Luksusowa (which is otherwise also a solid cheap potato vodka).

I also like Stoli/Russian Standard and hate Absolut, so it would seem our taste is similar.

Strongbow vs Cidru Dacic (produs românesc)

Posted by KvasirTheOld · in r/Romania · 5 months ago
post image

Vouă care vi se pare mai bun? Sincer aromele de la strongbow mi se par mai bune, și gustul e un pic mai puternic dar nici acesta nu este rău. Folosesc mere românești din ce scrie pe spate. Mi se oare o inițiativă bună și un produs bun overall.

Am băut cu vișine și căpșuni dar am vazut că au si alte arome. Cei ce au incercat, cum vi se pare? Cum ați ranka aromele?

There is nothing in the world like Lidski kvass

Posted by Top_Acanthaceae_4867 · in r/belarus · 12 days ago

I am Canadian and went on a three week vacation to Belarus in August. In the past, I never really liked drinking kvass from Russia, Poland, or Ukraine. Then I tried Lidski kvass. It was the most amazing drink I have ever had. It is all I want to drink now. It is better than any Belgian beer, New York cocktail, or hipster kombucha. I think that this drink alone makes me want to visit Belarus again.

Najlepší tonic a najlepšia hruška (alkohol)

Posted by Average_GenZ_Guy · in r/Slovakia · 1 month ago

Ahojte,

Mal by som dve hlúpe otázky.

Ktorý tonic je podľa vás najlepší (Kinley ? Schweppes ? Prípadne niečo iné? ) hlavne aby to bolo dostupné na SK a malo aj ružovú verziu. Potrebujeme ju na svadbu k ginu.

Takisto ktorý hruškový destilát je podľa vás najlepší ? Jediná podmienka je takisto aby bola dostupná v obchodoch.

Ďakujem za Vaše názory

Keď chceš poriadny tonik tak si pozri značku "Tomas Henry" majú viac príchutí, je to špičklová vec, ak chceš spraviť dojem. Zoženieš na svetnapojov napríklad. Hovorím ti to z pozície barmana.

Navyše zoženieš aj litrovky a v skle, takže je to serióznejšie na svadbu ako pet flaše.
Zhodou okolností som ich mal aj ja na svadbe a určite kúp aj ten ich zázvorový, z toho ľudia budú odpadávať. Na ten zázvorový sa nechytá žiadny iný, tak isto aj ružový.

best vodkas

Key Considerations for Choosing Vodka:

  1. Purity and Distillation: Look for vodkas that are distilled multiple times (3-5 times is common) for a smoother taste. Higher purity often results in fewer impurities and a cleaner finish.

  2. Ingredients: Vodka can be made from various ingredients, including grains (wheat, rye), potatoes, or even grapes. Each base ingredient can impart different flavors, so consider what you prefer.

  3. Flavor Profile: Some vodkas are neutral and clean, while others may have distinct flavors. If you enjoy cocktails, a neutral vodka is often best, while flavored vodkas can add a twist to drinks.

  4. Brand Reputation: Established brands often have a history of quality. Look for brands known for their craftsmanship and quality control.

  5. Price Point: Vodka can range from budget to premium. While higher price doesn't always guarantee better quality, investing in a mid-range vodka can often provide a good balance of quality and cost.

Top Recommendations:

  • Grey Goose: Known for its smoothness and clean taste, made from French wheat.
  • Belvedere: A Polish vodka made from rye, offering a rich flavor and creamy texture.
  • Tito's Handmade Vodka: An American vodka made from corn, known for its smoothness and gluten-free nature.
  • Ketel One: A Dutch vodka with a crisp and refreshing taste, great for cocktails.
  • Absolut: A well-known Swedish vodka that offers a variety of flavors and is versatile for mixing.

Takeaway: When selecting vodka, consider your personal taste preferences and how you plan to use it (neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails). Trying a few different brands can help you find your favorite!
