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

Belvedere isn't bad either.

Vodka is all I drink in the hard stuff !!
 
In order of preferance:

Ciroq and tonic (not one post had mentioned Ciroq)
Ketel One and tonic

If they have neither, I will succumb to Grey Goose and tonic !

I agree. Unfortunately, it can also be very hard to find.

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 :)

Russky Standart
 
I just bought a really superb vodka from Melbourne duty free that is labeled in Cyrillic (it is imported from Russia but I suspect made for the western market), "Russky Standart Vodka". Very good (better than Grey Goose) and cheap (AUD 26 per litre). There is a premium version which is slightly better but almost double the price (they have an open bar at that duty free and are willing to let you taste almost anything they sell, at least anything under $100/bottle).

Vodka
 
No doubt that BELUGA is the numero uno Vodka avialable as of today.

I always buy it in the local store in Moscow and it costs 800 Roubles that would be roughly Usd 25.

Russky Standard is good but BELUGA is the best. Try it and you will not regret it.

Cheers

Not that its "real" Vodka... but Argentine made Primo Vodka is actually quite decent....

Roth, from california; it's a grape vodka. Really tasty, but hard to find.

Hahaha I assure you, Roth is nothing like Grappa..thankfully! It's pretty smooth stuff, but definitely different than a grain or potato vodka.

The new Belvedere Black Raspberry Vodka is really good in the flavored vodka category.
