- Jason O’Bryan has been bartending for more than a decade, and over that time he has been tasting a myriad of spirits as he hones classic cocktails and invents his own drinks. That’s given him a deep knowledge of everything from amaro to zivania, so we deployed his palate to find out what bottle of vodka you should reach for the next time you’re at the liquor store.
As O’Bryan says in the video, vodka “is designed by very talented people with very expensive machines to taste as much like nothing as possible.” And it’s generally not a spirit that’s loved by craft cocktail bartenders because of its neutrality with some dismissing vodka as “all tasting the same.” However, there are plenty of differences between brands and that’s readily apparent when tasted side by side. So without any knowledge of what he’d be trying and what order in which he’d be trying it, O’Bryan tasted the popular premium vodka brands Belvedere, Grey Goose, Chopin, Ketel One, and St. George. Watch the video to find out what he thinks of each. Come back every Saturday for more video bartending lessons from Jason in his series Cocktails for Adults.

There's a big difference between Rye and potato vodkas. Potato vodkas are more harsh in taste. Chopin was the only potato vodka in this comparison and you didn't like it :) You should try Chopin Rye version.
Belvedere is the one true vodka...
Agree! St George is what you can describe as art of distillation!
Well, I tried Chopin for the 1st time 2 weeks ago and it was the smoothest one I know! (And I tried around 50-60 brands so far...) Belvedere and Chase are close 2nds.
Stoli Elit and Chopin Potato are the two smoothest I've had, with Nemiroff around the same level.
Chopin is seasonal small batch. Must’ve been a bad year. I’m a ketel one guy but Chopin is my second.
You're quoting an old outdated definition of vodka. It was officially updated by the TTB to remove the "without taste" bit back in 2021. Now it's " “neutral spirits which may be treated with up to 2 grams per liter of sugar and up to 1 gram per liter of citric acid” Which exlains all the sour and fruity comments.
