Default Obscure Vodka that's actually good?

I've done the Skyy, Absolut, Smironoff, Grey Goose multiple times. Not a huge drinker, but I have been enjoying my vodka recently.



So HA, what other brands do you recommend? What other brands am I missing out on? or is Grey Goose really the best as everyone says it is?

Top shelf is all I ever drink. Anything less, and I feel like crap the next day.

Raise your hand if you've filtered your vodka thru a Brita filter . . .

Doesn't get much smoother then Goose for straight drinkability, but if you're mixing some fruity crap or soda drinks, I don't think it really matters what you use. Even the taste of Dubra can be hidden in those drinks

Can't hide a hangover though. Some people are really sensitive to liquor chemistry. If you're not ready to cut out drinking altogether, it can be a matter of painful trial and error to find out what not to drink.

I suppose there's some truth to that. Lord knows to much cheap beer makes me feel like crap the next day.

I can drink a lot of vodka without getting a hangover, but 2 or 3 shot of tequila and i'm out!



edit - speaking of vodka, I'm gonna go make myself a screwdriver! (with absolute if your wondering)
