  • Cheap vodkas are not all created equal. Or at least, that’s what we learned when we made our spirits writer Jason Horn blind taste five different vodkas available for under $12: Smirnoff, Svedka, UV, Popov, and Pinnacle. Watch Jason suffer through each taste test to learn which bottom-shelf vodka came out on top.

    • @cedric7751
      @cedric7751 2 года назад +91

      Because Vodka is by definition pure ethanol mixed with water. The only difference between brands is the water they use which can have a slightly different taste.
      An imperfect distillation process (which would be expected from the cheapest brands) can also leave impurities in the ethanol and alter the taste. If you can still taste the original fruit/plant used to make the alcohol then you are drinking a cheap, low quality vodka.
      Lastly, brands could also add artificial flavoring to try to differentiate themselves from the competition but once again, this would typically be something that low quality brands do.

    • @antonr2-d250

      I will disagree. I’m Ukrainian living in Poland and I can approve that there is difference between ukr and pol vodka in smell and taste. Mostly Ukrainian vodka was better but there is one more thing, some vodka brands can taste different through the years or in other countries. I don’t know how to explain this but this could be the reason of water quality or distillation.

      @royalcat10 2 года назад +165

      Vodka is a unique drink. How you describe it's quality is completely unintuitive. Generally speaking, a better vodka has *less* pronounced flavors. A basic way to look at it is that it should be as flavorless as possible. Obviously as you get more invested into it it does get a little more complex, but that's the gist.
      Which is honestly why I prefer whiskey, like Scotch or Bourbon, because it's way more interesting in my opinion. Even the cheapest whiskeys are more interesting than the most expensive vodkas I've tried. But, to each there own.

      absolut is a cheap vodka? Isn't Absolut like the brand that started luxury vodka in the first place? I remeber reading somewhere that until Grey Goose came along out of nowhere as a marketing gimmick to convince people that they were french and fancy in the 90s (despite France having no vodka producing history to speak of), pretty sure absolut was the most expensive vodka on the market. Maybe I'm just plebian, but I think it tastes pretty good too

    Notice how regarding Smirnoff he also said that "this is what the law says vodka should be" yet gives it a rating undeserving of such a description. A perfect example of these types of "experts" really just liking to run their mouth. Pure pomposity.
    As an "actual" expert on alcohols since my sailing and college days, when it comes to the standard cheap stuff, at least in the US, Smirnoff is hard to beat. When in Europe I'll usually go for Serkova if I had to choose between the two. I find the taste differences between corn vs grain so subtle that it's negligible - motivating me to simply reach for the cheaper option.

      By federal law, ALL vodkas are required to be odorless, colorless, tasteless, and 95% pure ethyl alcohol at the end of the distillation process. In other words Everclear or pure grain alcohol. The flavorings are added as water is added to make the alcohol save to drink. So you are correct except for the death part.

      No. Vodka is supposed to have a really mild flavour. That's the reason why it's filtered, after all, after it has been distilled. You don't triple distill, quintuple filter stuff if you want them to have a very conspicuous flavour.

He didn’t tell me which vodkas he would be using. I correctly identified the first to be stolichnya, the second was absolut, and the last one was grey goose. He was amazed that anyone could identify the flavors of each vodka. It all started when I asked him for a polish potato vodka. He thought I was bs’ing him about vodka flavors. Well, I got to drink free that night.

    as a "vodka expert" myself, i keep going back to smirov. it just disappears in any drink, it gets buried under any other alcohol if you wanna boost the proof without changing the flavor, it's cheap, it;s walmart available, it gets you drunk, it doesnt taste like plastic. I just keep going back to it. I love a good whiskey and coke but i find that ramping up the proof and drinking less coke is my secret sauce, so do equal parts smirnov and whiskey and it tastes the same, you get that balance of the whiskey flavor and the coke and it gets you twice as drunk, so that's fun.

Drinking alcohol is fine and all but you gotta have a limit...
