Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?

Stoli elit and Jewel of Russia Ultra are both worth trying, but extremely expensive. Believe it or not, Tito's (texas) is extremely good as well, well worth trying (I always have a bottle in my freezer). Since restaurants carry none of the above, my preference is Kettle One.

And in fairness to Popov...it's as good as stoli elite in a bloody mary or a screwdriver :) I keep a bottle of whatever interesting is on sale...most recently, I've been using three olives in mixed drinks because they had a great deal going.

I forgot to mention that if you find yourself on a Celebrity cruise ship, they offer Stoli Elit at the same price as Grey Goose even though it costs 2 to 3x as much at retail. A best buy :) Finding Jewel of Russia is a challenge..they have very thin distribution in the US.

Jafo100,

on he contrary, a couple of glasses of Vodka makes those radio shack speakers sound wonderful....and it's far cheaper to buy good vodka than to replace those $35 speakers with $35,000 ones.
