I am fond of Grey Goose. And while we are in the vicinity, so to speak, Plymouth gin is very pleasant. The New York Times published a study some time ago, and they maintained that Plymouth (made in Plymouth, England) is the best gin for martinis. I trust New York Times reviews more that I trust Stereophile reviews.
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Many years a go I used to drink a vodka from Turkey named Izmira that was distilled from white beets. Wonderful!!!!!!!! Sadly no longer available in the U.S. I'm a big Belvedere fan. Slightly sweet and nuanced, but has a great vodka kick. Lately though I've discovered 360 Vodka. American made and so smooth. Almost too easy to drink. So, what's your vodka pleasure? And please, no testimonials to Popov. I know I know, something has to go in the brown paper bag, but if you have to get Kamchatka.
