The Vodka Poll!!!
Above are listed some of the different kinds of Vodka.
The poll is self explanatory Vote for the one you like most
As for me, I like "Finland" the most, its quite possibly the best non-flavored Vodka in the world. Very well worth the admission price, if good Vodka is something you appreciate

Xzion is partially right, although he probably didn't realize it. Vodka in common bar usage is not for flavor. Vodka is used as an alcoholic base for so many drinks because it lends itself to whatever flavors are mixed into it. It's typically not taken straight, except in Eastern Bloc countries.XzionSek'TovaCT wrote:vodka isnt for flavor, rum n stuff is for flavor, vodka is to get u fucked up and drink it down fast w shots n stuff
But it isn't entirely flavorless. There a numerous ways to distill vodka, and from numerous grain/plant combinations (the rumors that potatoes are sometimes used are true). These things definitely create variations in taste from brand to brand. Vodka can be rated much like wine (aroma, dryness, soapiness, etc.).
I agree that the post is limited in its options though. Vodka is definitely an acquired taste, one that most people don't like by itself. And there are many popular brands missing - though thankfully Skyy Vodka and Kamchatka were left out.
Personally I like Stoli. But I go easy on the vodka these days. It was getting to where I couldn't drink orange juice for breakfast, because it seemed to be "missing something."

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

I know there are a bunch of vodka folks here...obviously...
So, with a lot of bravery, I suggest to buy and try:
Fris Vodka
It is skandanavian or somewhere thereabouts. Unfortunately, I cannot always find this in our liquir stores here in the capital. So, next time you are out and about at the local ABC store, pick up a bottle of this fine nectar. I promise, you wont be disapointed....and hell, if you are, come back and flame away!

I have not even heard of some of the brands listed, but I sure am curious to try the Kettle One.
DISCLAIMER: You may vomit.
My (recent) favorite is Absolut with a splash of Vanilla Diet Coke over ice.
Alternate is Absolut Citron over ice.
Yes, I have a liquor cabinet... but the Vodka resides in the FREEZER.

Stoli IS on the poll... that's what Stolichnaya is.Akanae wrote: I am sad that there is no Stoli, Kettle One, and Absolute on the poll
I think those 3 tie for my favorite
Skyy would also be in my top 10
Skyy is one of the most non-traditional vodkas currently made, and by non-traditional I mean totally sucks. But it has a pretty blue bottle, is marketed well, and usually sells for cheaper than the top shelf brands.
Incidentally, although I like Absolut, I wonder how much of their popularity is more due to excellent marketing than anything else.
Off all the vodkas mentioned here, I would have to say Ketel One is the best.

Skyy...
Shared a bottle of that with a few friends on a perfect spring day on a campus lawn of the University of Houston. One of the best memories of that time. I even saved the empty bottle for a year.
