Ack, I can't drink Tequila safely (I love it, but I can't tolerate it) It turns me into *cue ominous soundtrack*
Insanely Evil LLama
I go nucking futz drinking that stuff man... surprised my tequila enhanced nights out never landed me in jail. Thus, the most tequila I *ever* drink nowadays is in a single margarita.
Grey Goose is great. Someone told me that most American (US, Canadian, etc.) vodkas were no longer made from potatoes. Don't know if that's true or not, but I had some Russian vodka (as in, some Russian guys brought it over with them and invited me to drink with them) in college and it was really good. It was more potent and seemed to be a little thicker than what I am used to. It was definitely made from potatoes.
Love them Blue Bottles.
Do you save bottles? I have a nice collection of bottles from c
Grey Goose
100 proof Stoli (been many years since i've seen a bottle)
100 proof Absolut
Black Death.
Pah. You and your crappy vodkas. If you want decent
vodka, then you need to avoid high street
brands.
Look for some Wyborova [polishvodka.com.pl] or
Zubrowka [zubrowka.net].
While some of the flavoured ones are nice (such
as the Wyborowa plum), you're best off sticking
with the original plain spirit. If you can find
any, the Wyborowa 50% is probably my favourite
vodka, but I haven't seen any for sale in years.
If you're in London, then Gerry'
never heard of those. Never been to London. Some things they don't carry everywhere, but thanks for the heads up.
As for crappyness. couldn't agree or disagree. All I can say is out of the Vodka Barrel or two that I have drank in my life those are the ones I've enjoyed and went back to.
I might add that Vodka isn't my favorite spirit. I'm always on the hunt for a good Highland malt if you have any suggestions. I don't like Islay, the peat puts me off.

Nope, I'm afraid not. I've never been keen on
whisky. It always tastes kind of sickly to me.
Vodka really is my drink of choice (crappy
brands aside:-) If you can get hold of either
of the two I suggested, it's well worth it. You
should be able to taste the difference. You should
also be able to smell it. Good vodka has a slightly
sweet smell. But maybe it's just that
my Polish ancestry gives me
a bias towards vodka...
I tend to like Islays, particularly Laphroaig. I had a couple of nice single-malts earlier this year at a Johnnie Walker marketing function. I don't remember the names, but I'll post them if I can find the bruchure that they handed out.
