Is Tito's a meme vodka?
>>
No more meme than any other vodka.
>>
You're retard if you buy top shelf vodka
>>
vodka is ethanol and water so buy bottom shelf man
>>
Don't listen to these dildos. Bottom shelf vodka will give you a raging hangover. Look for stuff that's distilled at least six times. It doesn't have to be 20 bucks a bottle. If you have a place like BevMo you can find top quality vodka for around 10 bucks a bottle.
>>
>>7456876
What's a good brand? I'm a pleb but notice the difference with $19 Seagram's vs lower priced shit like Skol, Aristocrat, and even Burnett's. Not nearly as gross/rough.
>>
>>7456943
Svedka, Sobieski, Finlandia and Smirnoff are all perfectly fine for mixing. Stay away from shit in a plastic bottle. You're just asking for a shitty tomorrow with that stuff.
>>
>>7456947
These, plus New Amsterdam and Fris. I dislike Tito's not because it's overpriced, but because Tito looks like a smug dickmag in all the magazine ads.

Fuck off.

Doesn't hold a meme candle to Rekya vodka. Glacial water filtered through lava rock distilled into vodka using one of two carter head stills in the world by means of 100% biofriendly/green energy sullied by heat from lava and then filtered through more lava rock.

>Tito looks like a smug dickmag
When you manage to make an award winning vodka in Austin, TX, brand the fuck out of it and make a successful business out of it you might be a little smug, too.

Personally I'm all for small crafty businesses becoming successful. Brooklyn Brewery is another example. So is Huy Fong (regardless of their "meme status"). I don't mind paying a small premium for a quality product from an American company that has passion behind it and took some risks to become successful.

But I don't drink vodka, so I rarely buy Tito's.
>>
this stuff is great
>>
Wait, wait, wait...
Tito's is expensive in your area? I buy it because it's the best bang-for-the-buck vodka I've had in a long while. Around here, it's considerably cheaper than vodkas of comparable quality. What's "cheap" or "good value" to you guys, then?

>>7457616
That's $5 more than Tito's and only marginally better.

>>7456947
>svedka
It's half the price of Tito's and it tastes like it.

>sobieski
I've never had it, but I've noticed that it's $5 less than Tito's. How does it compare?

>finlandia
A buck more, but not as good.

>smirnoff
$2 more, but not as good.

>>7456943
>seagram's
Extra smooth is just as good as Tito's, IMO, but it costs $2 more so I only get it when it's on sale as Tito's is never on sale.
>>
>>7457688
Seagram's is more expensive than Tito's where you live? I'm in VA, and a 1.75L of Tito's is like $35-40, nearly twice the price of $19 Seagram's. And Seagram's is on the bottom shelf, albeit in a glass bottle. Tito's is also always advertised with that scoring shit.
>>
>>7456826
I bought it expecting it to taste good and it didn't. It just tasted like every other shitty vodka. I've had a few shots of grey goose, and I definitely believe there's an obvious quality difference.
>>
>>7456826
Vodka is a meme alcohol
>>
>>7457616
Too bad after all that it still tastes like shit.
>>
>>7456826
It's alright, still like Finlandia most.

Here's how you can tell if your vodka is shit or not: dip your finger in it and run your finger down the center of your tongue. If the sides on your tongue tingle, it's garbage.
>>
>>7456826
Yep.
>>
>>7457616
I have a bottle of Reyka sitting in my bar right now. It's sitting, collecting dust, because it's fucking rubbing alcohol. Titos is $19 a bottle, if that's expensive, stop being poor.

This is some good vodka. Mid range price in my area but worth it.

Oh god. Fuck Virginia's puritanical alcohol laws.
It's $25-30 where I live for tito's

thoughts on ketel one?

i've barely tried any vodka before this, besides casual shots and whatnot

seems awful smooth with some water, even a neat drink seems decent
>>
>>7456826
sobieski is like 21.00 in VA for 1.75ml

I've had friends drinking it since 2008

It seems worth the price.

It's my go to vodka personally

I got family in Fla where its imported and you can find it as low as 16.00 for a handle down there (even at publix).
>>
>>7457677
Is Russian Standard any good?
It's relatively cheap where I'm from, and its Imperia version is like just 10 bucks more than the original.
>>
>>7460242
Reyka is good, I have no idea what you are talking about. It is smooth, no burn at all, and it has a slight peppercorny and minerally taste to it over the bland rubbing alcohol characteristic of vodka.
>>
>>7462763
Florida here. Can confirm Sobieski is great and cheap as fuck.
>>
>>7457688
Tito's is 17 a fifth and 30 a handle here. How much is it where you're at?
>>
>>7456872
Grey Goose and Ciroc are noticeably better than Skyy and Absolut, and way fucking better than Vladdy and Aristocrat. The top shelf isn't worth buying except on extremely special occasions and as a gift but theres definitely a difference
>>
>>7457677
Yep
>>
>>7465680
>calling a eau de vie vodka
>>
>>7459874
This. Tito's is 41 dollars a bottle and close to 90 a handle where I live.
>>
>>7457616
Water doesn't get distilled into vodka. It just gets added at the end to bring it down to the proper percentage. Nice buzzwords though
>>
Just finished off my first ever bottle of Tito's. It has the usual vodka smell, I took a small sip from a room temp bottle and there was no bite or harsh bitter flavor, it was the most "flavorless" or neutral vodka i've ever had. I also tried a small sip after it had been in the freezer, and a bit of that vodka bite came out, but again it was the least harsh i've ever tried.

I didn't get shitfaced on drinking it over the period of a week, and using some in cooking related stuff. But it was pretty good. Given that it was $20 and my go-to vodka (Viking Fjord) is still $13 and very similar, I probably won't be buying another bottle of Titos.

Whole Foods sells Viking Fjord for $14, they used to run a regular sale on it for $10 but that stopped. And the BevMo! employees have never heard of it and cannot find it in their system.

btw, Tito's is made from corn, VF is made from potato. I don't remember much about the 2 i've had made from wheat, but many of the higher rated vodkas seem to be made from potato.

Fucking stay away from stoli blueberry, honey, and vanilla.

I ruined the raspberry for myself. I enjoyed it 1000x more than Smirnof raspberry and ended up through 3L in a week.

I love how they taste like the actual plant/fruit instead of flavorings.

>$20 after tax for a 750cl
I still buy it regularly though

>>
>>7457677
How does this compare with other brands of vodka like Smirnoff and Stoli? I'm actually very tempted to buy a bottle, but having to work with a budget kinda makes it hard to spend on things you don't know if it's good or not.

And there's like 3 versions of that.

As a regular drinker of Stoli, this tastes nothing like rubbing alcohol and the grain really comes out if you can taste flavors in straight vodka. I really like the matte finish as well.

Pic relared, my bottle is actually half empty.

>>7456947
a handle of sobieski comes in a plastic bottle tho
>>
>>7469049

I have never seen a plastic handle of Sobieski.

I'm not a big spender, more of a cheapskate, and I love finding the best-for-your-dollar of anything. Sobieski is on a class all its own, for something that in my area goes between 17-20 bucks a handle. The only reason I got anything else was that Smirnoff was giving me a 20 dollar mail-in-rebate on two 17 dollar handles.
And the only thing that really holds a candle to it is Wyborowa, which might also be my favorite vodka ever. Not common, but if you EVER come across it, pick some up. Smirnoff price range but flawlessly smooth with a robust rye flavor.
>>
>>7457616
You're an idiot and this is probably bait, but I have to say, one part got me. You do realize that at least three MAJOR distilleries that use Carterhead stills yeah? I mean, and that's just name brand off the top of my head. They're really not that rare.

all vodkas are meme vodkas. if you weren't a memer you'd develop an appreciation for rye and scotch.
>>
>>7469315
Exactly.

The better quality you get with vodka, the more it tastes like water. Anybody who claims to like vodka just likes getting drunk, not the actual taste of the spirit. Not that I'm judging because I'm probably an alcoholic myself, but vodka is so bland and boring.

Tito's is a good bang for the buck. Some of the local bars here have it as house whiskey. Better than McCormick for well.

Met the owner at a club he was sponsoring one night too. Chill and down to earth guy.

Love this stuff for the price. I fucking hate to admit it, but Ciroc is my favorite. Has a nice creamy, lemony flavor. Too bad its black people vodka.....

Lukosowa is better for drinking by itself, Sobieski is better for mixing because it has a more neutral flavor
