I recently had a Titos handmade vodka which was excellent. I always saw the bottle in the liquor store and thought it was a crappy brand, but its actually very, very good. I love everything else about Austin, TX, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised about Titos!
I'm not much of a spirits person and mostly drink beer, however when it comes to vodka I always find myself drawn to potato vodkas like Chopin. Belvedere is my fall back if they don't have any potato vodkas, I can't really tell you why I like it, maybe because it's Polish?
Favorites are:
1-Monopolowa
2-Pinnacle
3-Moskovskaya; which is made by Stoli and I just found at my local Trader Joe's for the first time in about 15 months.
1. Chopin (but the stuff in the states is not as good as in Poland)
2. Żołądkowa gorzka- really good and I haven't tried the mint flavor yet but am quite intrigued by the idea
3. Żubrówka
4. Wiśniówka cherry
5. Krupnick honey

And here's another vote for Russkij Standart Platinum. Great stuff!
I've currently got a bottle of 42 Below 'Kiwi' living in my freezer ... although I'm still puzzled at how they squish a kiwi (flightless native bird of New Zealand) into the neck of the bottle. Anyway, it's delicious.
And best of all, I got it in Korea ... thank you Intercontinental Seoul
