I'd expect the same. US vodkas (Sky) and vodkas developed for the US market (Vox, etc) are very much creations of the US drinks market, rather than a reference back to the Eastern European roots of vodka.

You can see it in the marketing - it's almost universally around how their vodka doesn't taste of anything, described in various different ways (quadruple-filtered, coal-filtered, smooth, best served on ice, etc).

If you look at good Polish, Ukrainian and to some degree Russian vodkas, much of their value is around the flavour.
