Never heard of it, though my poison of choice is tequila... I try to stay away from the cheap noname brands though, I'm willing to pay a buck or three more for less of a headache the next day. If it's one of those, say so so I can vote nay.

Saw your post and remembered that I bought a Nip of the CITROEN one for 99 cents last week.
Sipping on it now.. it's clean and smooth but the flavor isn't anything impressive.

I wanna try Hangar One Kaffir Lime.. it has great reviews. $35 for a 750ml though, will have to wait until next week.. lol The folks at hangar one are pretty much the only ones that infuse their vodka with real fruit instead of adding flavoring like ketel one and the others do.

I def agree with this :thumbsup:

Decided to give Ketel One a try though since I've never had it before... the Goose is better, but KO is pretty good as well.

Ko is a little rough, but has its own unique taste that many people prefer. It's slightly cheaper than GG or Chopan, so you get what you pay for. Very good choice though.

I drink Stolichnaya almost exclusively. I have heard good things about KO, but haven't tried it.

Grey Goose or Belvedere if drinking it straight.

I prefer 151 or chilled Crown though.

Hmm.. Never heard of it or had it.

I definately want to try Grey Goose though.

Stolichnaya is the classiest vodka I've had, it's pretty good.

You may as well get some rubbing alcohol at your local pharmacy and drink that instead.
