I put it in the freezer where it belongs earlier this evening and am sipping a little neat right now. Verdict - meh. Boy, am I surprised. [sarcasm] Not bad, and alright in a martini, but nothing terrific.
Yep. I acted like a typical lemming here and I ain't that proud of it.
Just passing it along in case it helps anyone else who occasionally lapses into lemming mode. I'm not drawing a big red "X" over this brand but, unless I want another cool water bottle with average vodka in it for $15.49, I probably will pass next time.
Oh, well. Sometimes I just can't resist something I haven't tried yet. Sometimes it's a winner - many times not.
it sux.It's Smirnoff in a can,,,
Your original thoughts were correct.
Vodka for under $16 a bottle, even packaged differently, is still cheap swill.

I hate to disagree with you MACS but I've found several very serviceable vodkas for under that price. Svedka, Sobieski, White Gold (by Krystal), and Oliphant just to name a few. They are by no means Top Shelf but they are pretty damn alright for most purposes, IMO. I find vodka is much more forgiving than something like bourbon or scotch - there's just not that much complexity going on in any of them so there is a pretty big field of "serviceable" vodkas. The list of really outstanding vodkas is pretty short to me and I do like my liquor neat. There ARE several really awful ones but they are pretty easy to spot for the most part.
...and, wheel - I can't disagree with you much on this one. That's a pretty fair comparison, although I wouldn't go so far as to say it sucks. It's just not much better than average to me and at that price it should be better. Even with the cool bottle.
Not a fan of vodka.
I'll have to take your word for it, broheim. I like beer and scotch.
Man, I miss scotch. I used to LOVE it but....ever notice how for a lot of people there is ONE liquor that makes them go nuts? Scotch is it for me. The last time I drank scotch I put my foot through a TV....not a very proud moment for me. The little lady made me promise to stay away from that one and that was over 25 years ago. Haven't touched a drop since.
It's a good thing I discovered good bourbon....😄
Beer buzz and I love everyone... hugs and kisses all around... tequila and everyone needs to die.
I no longer drink tequila.
Tequila. I'm already a douche... add tequila and I want to kill people.
LOL! Tequila turns me into your avatar. Stupid as hell but I seem to make people laugh their asses off.
...or so they tell me.
