My personal ranking of 9 popular vodkas
Posted on 9/13/16 at 7:13 pm
Posted on 9/13/16 at 7:13 pm
Just for the fun of it I’ve been conducting a private taste test with various vodkas over the past year. I’m semi-retired now. What else am I going to do with my time?
I’ll rank the vodkas in my order of preference.
Disclaimer: I claim no expertise in vodka tasting other than knowing which ones I prefer. Also, two popular vodkas, Stoli and Absolut, are not on the list because even though I’ve had them before, I haven’t had them in the past year. Going from memory, neither vodka would have been near the top of the list.
To compare apples-to-apples, I made Vodka Gimlets with all the vodkas.
1. Chopin. This was my clear choice for #1. After Chopin, the order of the remaining vodkas is not as firm. For me there wasn’t a lot of difference in quality between the remaining vodkas on the list.
2. Belvedere
3. Ketel One
4. Grey Goose
5. Tito’s
6. Three Olives
7. Deep Eddy
8. Smirnoff
9. Skyy

Seems you like potato vodkas

Could be. The Chopin was outstanding, and Belvedere was very good also.

No Sobeiski?
I find it to be pretty good for the price. I put it in A grey goose bottle and my sister in law drinks the shite out of it. I haven't told her since she only drinks Grey Goose.

I've seen it in the store but I've never tried it.

It seems like mixing them in a drink woukd make it more difficult to compare.

No TAAKA?

Crescent vodka has been my favorite so far.
Fuzzy's is pretty good too.
Not sure I could rank them though

Why no stolichnya? Also, no Russian Standard? Or K&B? Your list is not legit.

I used to love near frozen Ciroc until P Diddy fricked that up for me

Luskavosa and Monopolava. Cheap and SUPERB but hard to find in this area. Trader Joes has Monapolava in BR.
Both potato vodkas and great

Vodka Snobs

I spent two weeks in Poland over the summer and my girlfriend's family spent most of the time forcing me to 'sample' a ton of vodka. Everyone agreed this is the best over there, and it seems to be the big thing at the bars now too. It's crazy how cheap alcohol is over there. This is 60ish zloty for a fifth (about $15). I came back with gallons of Sobieski for $9 a fifth
