Vodka advice sought

Zubrowka a Polish vodka favoured with bison grass. Delicious out of the freezer, or mixed with cloudy apple juice.

I have to agree with Monty here. Vodka's vodka imho and you can't taste the difference unless maybe drinking it neat but why would you want to drink vodka without a mixer?

Neat,comrade.

A good pointer for Vod is if it turns oily when it's been in the freezer overnight, not frosty. So that discounts Vladivar, smirnoff and most of the supermarket branded stuff.

Chase Vodka. Made in Herfordshire by the same people who make Tyrrell's crisps.

So what doesn't it discount comrade?

This thread is going to get me in trouble I have a half drunk bottle of Belevedere in the freezer, which is tempting.

Anything distilled in the UK imho.

Spelling correction...but is it that oily stuff?

NP..I don't know f-all about vodka really.

Was nice and oily last time I had a shot of it. Another Polish number iirc.

'Wodka' is pretty disgusting, 5 euros a bottle in Austria from what I remember...

Vernon: thanks for new thread.

Thanks all for ideas. Voddy for drinking it neat is the plan.

RhythmThief: appreciating the badness! That's a top shout re. Chase. Reckon that could be just the job. Xmas shopping hear I come. And I can do it online - even better

thomas: I'm loving "GIN-cident". I'm a bit of a gin drinker, and you can be pretty sure I'm gonna be nicking that word as using it like it's my own genius. (I don't know, newbies coming in here and stealing stealing stealing...)

I was going great guns and almost through a bottle and reckoning I could get through a second (no second bottle backup here) .Then I hit the wall.

I accept royalties payment

You can use it...but you've got to be sick somewhere first.

A friend once told me that his brother in law drove tankers for a living and use to deliver to one of the british brands mention earlier. He said it was made by mixing one tanker of distilled water and one of absolute alcohol. Don't know if it's true but it would explain a lot.
