Ross. Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I can remember working for Wetherspoons circa 2001 when they started selling Grey Goose in the UK. Fashionable it certainly wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The GGW's are drinking the wrong stuff. Snow Queen Vodka is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I prefer Russian Standard. Far superior IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not a fan of plain Grey Goose, but the flavoured ones are jolly nice - the black cherry especially. Tanqueray Sterling is the king though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of vodka on its own (prefer our own tipple), but is it something that many people actually do drink neat without ice to kill the taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to"kill the taste" with the good ones, but if you drink pish like smirnoff, you would probably have your insides burned off if you drank it straight.

TurbineTon Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ciroc etc are all just as wanky as Grey Goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Smirnoff all the way. Can't drink the shit straight. Cannot fathom c***s who spend that much for say grey goose then tan it in with some diet coke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A decent vodka is excellent to drink neat. I've got a bottle of Reyka in the cupboard which I would never dream of mixing with a mixer, just as I wouldn't add coke to a good malt whisky. Merits the £25 a bottle imo. Russian Standard isn't anywhere close to it but relatively decent - I'd call it the 'Famous Grouse' of vodkas. Some folk don't seem to realise that Smirnoff is basically the vodka equivalent of our worst blended whiskies. No matter what the fancy adverts say, that's why it's half the price and tastes, well... shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A bottle of Stolly left in the freezer overnight, silky smooth on its own, or even better that Polish Bison Grass flavoured stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 that Polish Bison Grass flavoured stuff. I had a bottle of that Zubrowka in the freezer not too long ago. Being rather tasty, it didn't last very long. I just find some neat vodkas incredibly refreshing and will go for it over a nice malt whisky some nights.

jamamafegan Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not really a vodka man but I think I'll be drinking a lot more of it on nights out seeing as I'm now a fat b*****d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave.j Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cheap vodka: expensive cola. Expensive vodka: cheap cola. I was a Kossoff man in my day, made in thornliebank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It took me a little while to figure out the freezer thing. A good quality sipping vodka and some cocktail onions and I can pretty write off the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Frozen vodka can be lethal - one time I was round at a mate's place watching some NFL playoff game - just me, him and one more guy. We'd run out of beers just after half time, when our host remembered his missus had brought him back some vodka from a trip to Russia, that originated in Mongolia or somewhere equally bizarre that he'd frozen and forgot about. The long and short was it was great and went down all too well and we tanned the bottle between us. Next lunchtime I was awakened by the phone: my mate, seriously pissed off. "You're a clatty b*****d." "Eh?" "You spewed up in my bath last night..." "Things at the end of the night were hazy, but I'd have remembered that..." "Must have been that mingin' p***k John then..." "No, John left at the same time as I did." "Fucksake. Must have been me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A good vodka over ice is sublime. Absolut, Russian Standard and Smirnoff are all horrific. Grey Goose is lovely but much like Cristal it has been taken on as the drink of bell ends. I can't recommend Chase enough which is an English potato vodka. Has a slightly vanilla taste but is excellent. Well worth the £30 for a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
