A new (to me) vodka I saw at the liquor store

Post by anichka »

Anyone ever try it?

I went for my usual, the Luks, because I am on a budget at the moment, but maybe some other time.
Wine in the mornin', and some breakfast at night.

Ghengis Khan has his own Vodka?

Does it make you raid towns on horseback after you drink it?

Related to this in that it is an inquiry into vodka: is there any difference in taste between normal vodka and vodka made from rye?

I saw some in a store and it was differentiated from the 'normal' type of the same brand.

If you click on the pic, it will take you to the vodka's very own page. It has history and everything.

I have never heard of that, nor seen it. Any brand name that you recall?

I am looking forward to that Maine potato vodka, but I have to admit that I can't really tell a distinct difference between potato and grain vodka - it seems to me more of a brand thing. But my palate is nicotine soaked, so who knows.

In my opinion YES! Rye Vodka has a very distinct taste difference to potato Vodka, personally prefer the potato!!

Say, Belvedere (Rye) Vs. Chopin (Potato)

Oh, I didn't realize Belvedere was rye. It was okay, and I thought the same about Chopin. Chopin had an almost chemical aftertaste to me though. Same with Pravda, and with Mono as well.

I still love Luksusowa a lot, though at first I thought it had too sweet an aftertaste. It's cheap, though, and pretty yummy.

It'd take a lot to break me from my addiction to Monopolowa tater juice.

But I'd give it a shot. Or two.

As for my question, it was the same brand, Shaker (I believe; the bottle was shaped like a shaker) one said 'rye' and the other 'wheat'. Both were on the sale rack.

I've been drinking a lot of the Luksusowa, lately. But recently found sone Glacier potato vodka on the cheap. I haven't tried it yet, though. Supposedly, it's "the best vodka in the world" so...
