I've gotta argue that Grey Goose is better than Absolut. I'm not sure what you mean by french water, aren't GNS (like vodka) supposed to (most often) be devoid of taste? Of course, there's always the slight differences associated with what kind of starch from which the vodka is made.

The problem with GG is that it is too smooth. Vodka is supposed to have a good bite that GG doesn't have. I'm convinced that their popularity is due more to good advertising than quality. Stoli is more my cup of tea.

have you tried http://www.stranahans.com/ ?

im thinking of ordering some for my dad for his birthday/fathers day, hes a whisky/bourbon drinker

Nope haven't tried that. Then again I have a limit to the amount I will spend on booze. Usually drink Knob Creek good bang for buck and it is tasty... Except for one bottle that I returned because it was bad.

I'll never understand atot...the *elitism* when it comes to alcohol is astounding.


Argue quality. Taste is subjective.

Also, just because something is mass marketed and has million dollar ad campaign does not make it a higher quality product.

Oh man.... a case of stolen white wolf at a party was the catalyst to my first and only threesome.
