I've been making a concerted effort to get through the 3L bottle of Roth I have in the freezer, and I have to say it's really grown on me. It seems like a fairly complex spirit, perhaps due to the grapes. Just sipping it with a dash of tonic or on the rocks really has made it interesting. ^

flavored vodka
Why? I haven't tasted one that I like. Why taint something so pure and delicious?

I suggest you visit the Hangar One distillery the next time you are in the Bay Area. Most of their flavored vodkas are perfect for just a few little ices, and maybe a splash of soda. It is a different class than the mass produced stuff.

Every flavored vodka I have ever encountered is flavored with artificial flavorings. Basically all are disgusting and are decidedly totally not nice..
